Two things come to mind:
1) do you have a defined postgresql user "joe" ?
2) 192.168.1.11/32 (without looking it up, I'm not sure if you can
specify the subnetmask, as an alternative to the /DecimalNumber notation)
This is certainly only an issue with the entry in pg_hba.conf, on the
server to be contacted, just missing the correct configuration.

Remember OS user "joe" != postgresql user "joe"
postgresql user "joe" must have been granted access to the database
instance you're attempting to connect to, then you can have an entry like:

host all all 192.168.1.1/32 trust ( where postgresql user "joe"
would be implied )
