Re: Problem to connect to the Windows Port

OK, I've found what worked for me.

By default, the pg_hba file installs like so:

# TYPE DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK METHOD
local all all trust
# IPv4-style local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust
# IPv6-style local connections:
host all all ::1 ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff trust

Once I removed the IPv6-style line, then I could add my own IP + Mask
combination and it worked fine (in my case this is 192.168.0.0
255.255.0.0)

Perhaps upon installation the IPv6 line should be "remmed" out by default?

I've been watching this thread because I am experience exactly the same
thing.  I can also repeat all the diagnostic results of Conni.  Postmaster
resides on a Win 2K box.  I can telnet to the server no problem.  My pg_hba
file line entries will allow access from all hosts, all users, all databases
on ip 192.168.0.0 with a mask of 0.0.0.0 method=trust.

Connection to the postmaster on the local machine works just fine, but I
just cannot get it to connect remotely.

Hi Conni,

Gruß aus Philadelphia

connection refused means at least that the machine responded to the
connection attempt, but that (it pretended?) nobody is listening on the
port.

The firewall I would set up would not respond at all, but simply drop
the packet. So I doubt you're facing a firewall problem here. Are you
sure that you are trying to contact the right host?
