Help with remote connection to remote Postgresql 8.3 Server...

Hi Guys,

I have been trying to get my local (windows) machine's PgAdmin II to
connect directly to a remote Linux (Debian) Server where Postgresql
8.3 is installed.

I have set in my postgresql.conf (remote):

listen_addresses = '*'            # what IP address(es) to listen on;
                    # comma-separated list of addresses;
                    # defaults to 'localhost', '*' = all
                    # (change requires restart)
port = 5432                # (change requires restart)
max_connections = 100            # (change requires restart)

and set in my pg_hba.conf (remote):

# TYPE      DATABASE    USER        CIDR-ADDRESS          METHOD
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local       all             postgres                trust
local       all             all                                   md5

# IPv4 local connections:
host        all         all        0.0.0.0/0     md5
hostssl    all        all        0.0.0.0/0     md5

# IPv6 local connections:
host        all             all             ::1/128               md5

But I am still unable to connect to the server using the "postgres"
user.
Could some one enlighten me what I could be doing wrongly?

Thanks...

What exactly happens when you try?

A reasonable guess is that you need to poke a hole in your firewall,
but the specific error you are getting would help to confirm or
disprove that theory.

It was a firewall issue. Using iptables to unblock it worked.

Thanks!

Is that a typo? pgAdmin II hasn't been supported in years and will
almost certain barf on 8.3.
