Also, please avoid top-posting, for the same reasons. Thanks! :-) To your question....these bits jumped out at me: 2009-04-15 14:29:18 EDT FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "172.30.142.45", user "postgres", database "postgres", SSL off [snip] 2009-04-15 14:31:13 EDT FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "172.30.142.45", user "postgres", database "postgres", SSL off [snip] 2009-04-15 14:32:08 EDT FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "172.30.142.45", user "postgres", database "postgres", SSL off [snip] 2009-04-15 14:32:34 EDT FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "172.30.142.45", user "postgres", database "postgres", SSL off [snip] 2009-04-15 14:32:40 EDT FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "172.30.142.45", user "postgres", database "postgres", SSL off [snip] These bits mean that you need to add an entry in pg_hba.conf for the postgres user from the client host. 2009-04-15 14:34:12 EDT FATAL: missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf file This bit says that there's a syntax error in one of the entries in pg_hba.conf.... 2009-04-15 14:42:23 EDT LOG: invalid IP mask "md5" in file "C:/PostgresPlus/8.3/data/pg_hba.conf" line 72: Unknown host 2009-04-15 14:42:23 EDT FATAL: missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf file ...and this bit tells you exactly what the problem is. Read the docs in pg_hba.conf itself, or here - http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/auth-pg-hba-conf.html - and correct the error - without seeing the file, I'd guess you've left out the host address.
