Don't forget to include the pgsql-sql list in your reply's. :-) The individuals on this list have
varying degree of experience and knowledge of postgresql. So if you only respond to me, you would
be limiting yourself to my meager experience and knowledge. ;-)

To start off with, it would be helpful to know which OS version of PostgreSQL you are using. The
windows versions is pre-configured to start with the "-i" option for allowing TCP/IP connections.

Secondly, how are you trying to connect to your postgresql server from another system? What
error messages are you getting.
