Thanks for your advice: Do you get different messages with SSL disabled? Yes - "Error connecting to the server: server closed the connection unexpectedly. This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request." Can you connect with psql locally? No Can you connect with psql via localhost? No The program installed was a web excelerator. I think the Windows Firewall exceptions were turned off for PG and the program calling it. They are now on. Will try the ethereal option. All recommended Windows updates are installed.

Can you connect with psql locally? Can you connect with psql via localhost? Quickest solution is probably to run ethereal on each end (I think there's a Windows version) and see what messages are going back and fore. I'd still suspect a firewall or client library problem. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
