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.
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.
