Thanks for ur reply...
Actually I can set the tcpipsocket option in postgresql.conf file to false. This will block all further remote connection to my server. But what will happen to already existing remote connection? I want to disconnect this also ..  

Sorry I can't change the firewall settings...

Srini

Actually I tried to kill the corresponding process(Remote Db connection) in the server. But server is automatically respawning the connection. Can you please help me out in this?
