Hi, Ok, I have reached to the point where the SSH tunelling works, and I am able to connect using it to PgAdmin. But I still want to know what exactly is wrong with the other setup. I just came across this in the postgres documentation, about starting the postmaster with an -i option, if you want your server to accept TCP/IP connections. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/postmaster-start.html I just used the -D option as specified, to start the server. Is it necessary to use the -i option so that my server can listen, or is the documentation just too old? If yes, what is the syntax for the same? Thanks. George.

Hopefully you took no offence while I took this a sharp turn. I agree that this would be probably a good idea to get it working. Alternatively it might seem easier to have a temporary set up on the local computer, if feasable.
