Hi,

I'm having trouble getting a connection to Postgres to work from
outside of my local network. It was working fine at one point. Then I
had to change IP addresses and I can't get it to work. This is what I've done.

On the computer with Postgres installed I have this in the pg_hba.conf file:
host all all 207.6.93.152/32 md5

in the postgresql.conf file I have this:
listen_addresses = '*'
port = 5432

I also have the router set up to forward port 5432 to the computer
with Postgres installed.

I have confirmed that the IP address in pg_hba.conf and the IP
address being used to connect to are correct. I know the user name
and password etc are correct because I can connect locally using the
same stuff. The only things that have changed since it was working
is IP addresses. I confirmed they are right. Also when trying to get
it working I noticed that the port forwarding got disabled somehow so
I set that up again but still no luck.

I'm at a loss here. What else can I be missing?
