2) Enrico's firewall propotion:
There is a firewall in WinXP ( F-Secure ). I allready tried
disabling it. I have
also configured the Red Hat security level. Right now it allows all
traffic
thru eth0.
3) I managed to get a connection-lookalike:
netstat print:
tcp 0 0 <my_psql_server_domain>:postgres <my_client_domain>:2429
TIME_WAIT
What next?
I suggest you try and connect from the pgsql machine locally using
tcp :-
> psql -h = same.host.as.configured.from.windows.box -p = 5432 db user
Then we can see if the problem still lies with pgsql, or with the
firewall.
