Default PG installation is setup to work only on localhost or 127.0.0.1

You need to edit your pg_hba.conf file too. Look for the lines:
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5

Add a line below that depending the IP address range that you want to
connect from, similar to:
host all all 10.0.0.1/8 md5

Remember to reload your configuration.
