Hmm, everything looks OK as you've described it. I assume 192.168.0.2 is the
correct address for your XP box? You are obviously connecting to the server
as you are getting that error message.
I know it sounds odd, but are you sure you're editting the correct
pg_hba.conf file? If you are running a hand compiled PostgreSQL on Redhat,
it is possible that there is more than one PGDATA directory - the default
from the Redhat RPM installation, and the one you're trying to use... Does
that make any sense? :-)
