1) These are the latest messages ( /var/log/messages )
Only my test of closing down & reopening postgresql.

Oct 26 18:33:25 joymap su(pam_unix)[4901]: session opened for user postgres by
root(uid=0)
Oct 26 18:33:25 joymap su(pam_unix)[4901]: session closed for user postgres
Oct 26 18:33:33 joymap postgresql: postmaster shutdown succeeded
Oct 26 18:33:35 joymap su(pam_unix)[4951]: session opened for user postgres by
root(uid=0)
Oct 26 18:33:35 joymap su(pam_unix)[4951]: session closed for user postgres

2) Enrico's firewall propotion:
There is a firewall in WinXP ( F-Secure ). I allready tried disabling it. I have
also configured the Red Hat security level. Right now it allows all traffic
thru eth0.

3) I managed to get a connection-lookalike:
netstat print:
  tcp 0 0 :postgres :2429 TIME_WAIT

What next?
