It looks fine to me. The reason there are two listening sockets is most likely that one is IPv4 and the other is IPv6 --- netstat's default display fails to distinguish this (at least on Linux), but you can see it if you do "netstat -l -n". > Moreover, when attempting to create an ssh tunnel to connect to > postgres from a windows box, the connection fails. You're going to have to give more detail (like exactly what you tried and exactly what happened) if you want help with that. It could be a firewall issue, but that's strictly a guess. regards, tom lane
