Re: Problem connecting to PostgreSQL 7.3.4 using

edit the pg_hba.conf file to allow access from remote machines...

# TYPE DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK METHOD

local all all trust
host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 password
host all all 192.168.X.X 255.255.255.0 password

Change X.X to your local network or add a remote network if you are using
a vpn tunnel or port forwarding (dangerous).

Make sure you have also added users that you are trying to connect with.

Log in as postgres and "createuser -P username" if you haven't done so.

Hope that helps.
