I don't think that's the issue at all --- if it were an
out-of-connections situation, that error message would not be what comes
up. But I cannot think how the presence of one connection would affect
the ability of another to match a pg_hba.conf entry. What do you have
in pg_hba.conf, anyway?? Does the complaint message actually match your
PC's address? (And let's see the entire error message, please, not an
edited subset. Looking in the postmaster log to see if more is reported
there would be helpful too.)
