Read the Programmers guide, the chapter of JDBC interface.
There is how to set up pg_hba.conf proper for tcp/ip connections
By default, Postgre only allows local connections.

If your laptop runs windows, read the chapter of ODBC too,
else if your laptop is a Linux, you link your program with libpq.
How to do that from Kylix I don't know, but I'm using Ada,
and link with libpq, and it works fine.

Read the chapter of libpq too if you'll use it, it contains
a lot.

(this was lots of reading :-)
