Sorry, yes the error, Doh!.

Standard Server doesn't Listen (sounds like my ex :))

Here it is in full.

Server doesn't listen

could not connect to server; Connection timed out (0x0000274C/10060) Is the
server running on host 192.168.2.99 and accepting TCP/IP connection on port
5432?

In postgresql.conf, set:

listen_addresses='*'

Then restart the server.

Then (in windows, right?) do a:

   netstat -a

  Look for port 5432.

As you say, the config looks OK. Very frustrating.

Cheers,
Alan.

Must be based off where the service name is, I'm not sure.

Yeh, I would have thought it would pick up from the data dir not
somewhere else.

and the error when you try to connect is?

Did you restart postgres after changing the pg_hba.conf file?

Seems like it should work.
