Hi,

Ok, I have reached to the point where the SSH tunelling works,
and I am able to connect using it to PgAdmin. But I still want to know
what exactly is wrong with the other setup.

I just came across this in the postgres documentation, about
starting the postmaster with an -i option, if you want your server to
accept TCP/IP connections.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/postmaster-start.html

You already accept TCP/IP connections, since it works through SSH
tunnelling (which is in fact a TCP connection, only with SSH doing some
operations inbetween.
So this is very unlikely to be the problem (furthermore its
documentation for the 7.4 version of postgresql).

[snip]

Please try performing the operations mentioned in my previous e-mail.
These will reveal more details about your network setup and it might
bring us closer to pinpointing the problem (and excluding other
possibilities). At this point there isn't enough information available
to identify what could be the problem.
