After I've changed the pg_hba.conf, I got the following error when
connecting (from log file)

2006-05-04 21:57:26 LOG: invalid entry in file "C:/Program
Files/PostgreSQL/8.0/data/pg_hba.conf" at line 68, token "192.168.0.1/192"
2006-05-04 21:57:26 FATAL: missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf file
2006-05-04 21:57:26 HINT: See server log for details.

The pg_hba.conf file is attached...
