VMWare connection

Howdy,

I have RH 7.3 running on VMWare with W2k as the host. Postgres is
running on the Linux VMware. How do I connect to Postgres from the W2k
box. I tried the default connection with server=localhost, port =5432
and username=postgres with pwd blank, but no luck.

I'll appreciate it if someone can point me to some HOWTO's on the web. I
couldn't find any on the archive for this mailing list or on Google.

Thanks,
Vikram
