Re: Remote connection shows localhost databases

Thanks Guillaume and Richard. I removed the server from the host name field and entered only the IP address. I then edited my pg_hba.conf, adding the IP address and it worked! I appreciate all of your help.

In pgAdmin, you have a Name field (which is a description, so free
text), and you have a Host field. The host field should contain the
socket complete path, or the host name, or the ip address. With this,
you're able to connect to any PostgreSQL server, as long as their
pg_hba.conf file allows it.
