Hello, I have a postgresql-server 8.1 running on a winxp-server. I want to connect with my ubuntu at home (in the end, it should work with a ASP.net-program) to the db, but it fails to connect. The port is open - I can prove this with a working telnet connection. ----- user@pc:~$ telnet 83.xxx.xxx.xxx 5432 Trying 83.xxx.xxx.xxx... Connected to 83.xxx.xxx.xxx. Escape character is '^]'. ----- The problem is, that the psql-connection fails. ----- ----- My admin-tool for the pqsql-Server is pgadminIII. I tried to change the pg_hba.conf and added a line with my IP-adress with the pgadminIII. The line is correct in the pg_hba.conf. ----- host all all 62.xxx.xxx.xxx md5 ----- In the config-file everything looks fine, but when I start pgadminIII->Tools->Server Configuration->pg_hba.conf, it still doesn't show this line. Could this be the problem or is it just a pgadminIII-WinXP-bug? Any ideas, how I could solve the problem? Thanks Mit freundlichen Grüssen / Best Regards --------------------------------------- Wolfgang Schedl
