Check file postgresql.conf on the server. There are 2 settings,
listen_addresses and port, which define where the server will be listening
to connections. Default is localhost on port 5432.
You should change it to:

listen_addresses = '*'    # means listen on every IP
port = 5432                  # change only if its being used already by
other apps

Afterwards, verify the line you added to pg_hba.conf looks like this:

host    all         all         192.168.0.0/16           md5

This will enable a client from network 192.168.x.x to connect with any user
to any database. MD5 password check will be enforced.
