Re: ok got postgres odbc driver on win2k, but cannot connect

Taking a wild guess here -- make sure that you're not filtering
the ports at the OS level. Recent versions of RH Linux (and probably
many other distros) use fairly stringent ipchains rules for
security. You may need to open up port 5432. Under RH Linux, you
add this to /etc/sysconfig/ipchains (and then restart ipchains):

-A input -s 127.0.0.1 -d 0/0 5432 -p tcp -y -j ACCEPT

(change 127.0.0.1 to your Win2K machine's IP address)
