Hi Magnus Thanks.
> If you meant to match the entire subnet (192.168.*.*), instead put > host minitest postgres 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0 password Ok. I changed the line in pg_hba.conf to host all all 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0 password then rebooted the computer and tried again: C:\>psql -h 192.168.1.8 -U postgres -d minitest psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "192.168.1.8" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? The server on 192.168.1.8 is running, (I can connect on this machine to localhost/minitest.). I can ping 192.168.1.8 Regards Conni ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
