PostgreSQL 9.0 (x86)(localhost:5432) is just an identifier pgAdmin
creates to differentiate servers in the their server tree dialog.

Assuming the server is on the same machine as the ODBC driver then the
Server entry should be:

localhost

If the ODBC client is remote to the Postgres server then the Server
entry would be the

IP address, say 192.168.0.56

or a hostname, say dbserver.example.com
