Just tried--no contact.

I muddled around in my notes--had same trouble I now see with mysql
and had to open up its port with iptables. I just tried the same
thing for postgresql and did:

# iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 5432 -s x.x.x.x

where x.x.x.x is my external IP from my home network. I restarted
postgresql just in case but no connection.

Ideas?

Thanks.
