"Connection refused" means the connection attempt is being rejected at the network layer--either the PG server isn't running, or there's a firewall, or the kernel on the server machine is rejecting the packet. Can you do 'telnet 213.212.159.153 5432' on the client machine and get a successful connection? -Doug ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
