pg_hba.conf defines the limitations to access and authenticate with the
database - that's the most likely of the three to need editing in your
case.

I've never used the Windows version so I don't know if it supports local
socket access, but for TCP access you need to ensure you are running
PostgreSQL with the -i switch.

Is there a Windows equivalent to "netstat"? You might check to see
whether the DB is listening.

Cheers,
Andrew.
