Re: Remote connection shows localhost databases

[sorry for the duplicate Richard]

Thanks for the response Richard. I have tried to connect via pgAdminIII.
When I try to connect to the remote machine, I enter \\<server>\<ip_address>
into the host name field. What I found was it didn't matter what I entered
into the hostname field (I put in random strings to test), it always brought
up the databases on the localhost....

How are you connecting? PgAdmin, psql, Perl script? What is the hostname
you are using on the local machine and are you sure it is for the remote
machine?
