Hi yeah I was doing some reading today and realized that I had to change the pg_hba.conf file from local host to something else but I don't wuite understand what I am suppose to be entering for the CIDR-Address setting. This database will only be accessed from the network and surrounding computers. The general Ip addresses for the computers here are 192.168.1.X. Does this mean that the CIDR-Address should be 192.168.1.0/24? This is what I did but it still wouldn't connect. I also noticed that I needed to change the listening_addresses under the connection setting in the postgresql.config file. DO I have to do this? I didn't find the information really clear and there weren't any examples for me to understand what they mean by 'listen_address' (do they mean the IP address or the port number???). I tried all '*' but that didn't work either. Any ideas?
