No, they're subtly different. different. Your message was connection
refused, but mine was invalid packet size. In other words, I connected
to the PostgreSQL server (but it didn't like what I said), but you
didn't. Are you sure you have a working network connection between XP
and your Linux VM? Can you ping the VM from XP?
