You don't need root as a PostgreSQL user, but you've taken most of the obvious
steps.
One thing to try is open up a command-prompt and type something like:
telnet 192.168.1.2:5432
Where 192.168.1.2 is the IP address of your PostgreSQL machine. Type a few
characters and hit return once or twice and you should get an error message
back from PG saying connection refused.
If you can't connect using telnet, then either:
1. The firewall is still there
2. PG isn't listening on socket 5432
Check your postgresql.conf file and make sure you are accepting tcp/ip
connections. Also check your settings in pg_hba.conf
Hope that gets you started - reply back to the list if you still have
problems.
