Open a command-prompt on the client and try to telnet to your server,
port 5432.
Type "aa" and hit return - you should get an error message complaining
about a bad "startup packet".

Do the same from the server to the external IP address and then 127.0.0.1

If none of these work, then PG probably isn't listening. If 127.0.0.1
works but one or more of the others don't then check your firewall.
