This begs several questions, but first let me see if I can sketch out the
layout.

Laptop(OS ?) <--> App(Java) <--> WebServer 2008(Windows) <--> Postgres(Version?)

Questions:
1) Is logging enabled at the various points in the chain and if so what do the
logs say?
2) Is there an authentication mechanism and if so, is the correct information
being passed through the chain?
3) Do you have network connectivity outside this above chain i.e can you ping
the server from the laptop?
