Please refer to the check list cantained in the FAQ at the psqlodbc web site.
I see two issues.
Postmaster must start withe -i option.
man postmaster
It looks as though you only allow localhost access in pg_hba.conf. You
will need to open up to some remote host(s)
man pg_hba.conf
example of wide open with password required:
host all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 password
example of class C wide open
host all 200.100.5.0 255.255.255.0 trust
