You need to look at the postgresql.conf file for the server. On versions prior to 8.0 look for the parameter tcpip_socket and set it to true, by default it is set to false. For 8.0 and above the parameter is listen_addresses and can be set to * to listen to all IP interfaces on the server, by default it is set to localhost. This only allows connections from the machine the server resides on. -- Adrian Klaver aklaver@xxxxxxxxxxx
