Re: Logging in with postgres remotely

I am fairly sure my pg_hba file is correct. Here is what I have under IP4 connections:

# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
host all all 10.0.0.0/8 md5

Is anything else required to access the database from a different machine running pgAdmin3?

Thanks for the response. I was able to get postgres user to connect to the remote database by using the 'alter user' command from within psql. However, I am unable to connect to the same server with a different user. I created a generic user called pgAdmin and used the command:

Have you checked your pg_hba.conf file in your PostgreSQL server (if you have access to it)?
Maybe it's not allowed to connect remotely as a regular user but postgres.
