Yes you have to setup postgres to accept connections from other machines, if
I remember you need
to start it with a "-i" option. You also have to allow connections in the
config files.

From the faq:
3.5) How do I control connections from other hosts?
By default, PostgreSQL only allows connections from the local machine using
Unix domain sockets or TCP/IP connections. Other machines will not be able
to connect unless you modify listen_addresses in the postgresql.conf and
enable host-based authentication by modifying the file $PGDATA/pg_hba.conf
accordingly.
