Re: Connecting to PostgreSQL server

Hi,

Is there any device between your postgreSQL server and PC, e.g. network
router or firewall?

Something else besides the iptables on your server can be blocking port
5432. I'd also check that your PostgreSQL server hasn't been configured to
listen on some other port.
