Based on this description, the issue could be an incorrect setting in
the connection parameters, or something else that is making the
connection unsuccessful. What if you uncheck "connect now" in the
advanced tab? Does pgAdmin create the connection then? If you are able
to do it this way, then the issue is with the connection and not
defining a new server.
