I'm new to postgresql as well but I had a similar problem.  The
pg_hba.conf file by default allows connections from the localhost and unix
socks but not tcp connections from other machines.  The default USERAUTH
is to trust connections from these two sources.

I switched to crypt userauth and added a third connection type to the file
host         all         192.168.1.0   255.255.255.0     crypt

and it solved my problems.
