Hi George,

From the server's console, do "telnet <servers_ip> 5432."
Make sure to use the server's remote IP, not localhost. If that fails, your PostgreSQL is not listening on that port correctly. If it succeeds, then you've got a firewall problem.

If it's PostgreSQL isn't listening, make sure you have done a restart (not just a reload) since making the chance in your configuration file (just to make sure, if you can, stop then start it.) Also check you are editing the correct file! (I.e. the one in the same cluster directory that PostgreSQL is starting.)

Hi,
I tried a telnet, and it doesnt work. So atleast now I know there is something wrong with the server side, but I dont quite know what to do next..... Any suggestions? Is there some particular setup that needs to be done? I have disabled the Windows Firewall. Thanks.

    Also from the machine you tried the ping from, do telnet
    5432 - see if that connects.
    Something's definitely not quite correct on the server-side.

    Check any firewalls (particularly the Windows Firewall if running
    an XP
    SP2 or 2003 client machine.)
