Check you've not got a firewall blocking port 5432. If running Windows firewall on XP/2003, you'll need to set an exception for port 5432. As you're on a windows system run "ipconfig" from a command prompt, and note down the IP addresses on your network interfaces. Then set listen_interfaces to one of those IPs and try connecting directly to that IP.
