The .sample files are badly named. They aren't samples, and you're not
expected to edit them (though you can if you know what you're doing);
what they really are is _templates_, which initdb uses to create the
real postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf files. Nothing reads them except
initdb.

To actually enable remote connections, you need to edit the
listen_addresses setting in postgresql.conf (not .sample) for the
running server and restart it. Connecting locally and doing
"SHOW config_file;" should tell you where to find it.
