<div>Hi</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I've been operating on localhost successfully for some time.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am now attempting to access a Postgresql 8.3 database
installed on one of my other computers conneted through a router.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is this possible?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My first attempts have been with Postgresql Admin.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I changed host to the IP address of the computer and input the
other info.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I also ran - listen virtual; on the receiving server.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It hasn't connected successfully. I get the message 'Server not
listening'</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What else can I do??</div>
<div> </div>

Postgresql is configure by default to drop all connections that are not
localhost <br>
<br>
see <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/auth-pg-hba-conf.html">http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/auth-pg-hba-conf.html</a><br>
to make sure its configured to accept connections other than localhost<br>
<br>
Second on the router make sure port 5432 is open and porting to the
Postgresql which is the default port. <br>
