Hi Jim,
 
If you telnet to the local end of the tunnel and hit return a couple of times what do you see? It should be something like:
 
EFATAL:  invalid length of startup packet
 

Connection to host lost.
 
Regards, Dave.

Dave,
 
Ok I have subscribed to both lists as you indicated. I should have told you that the localhost 8889 is an
ssh tunnel which is port forwarded to remotehost:5432. The client is w2k professional with odbc driver
V7.3.1
 
Jim

Jim, please use the mailing list for support in future: pgadmin-support@postgresql.org
 
My guess is that the port number 8889 or the server 'localhost' is incorrect. The ODBC driver appears to be connecting to something, but not PostgreSQL. As you are running a Redhat system, it seems unlikely that pgAdmin II would be running on the same machine as your database :-)
 
Regards, Dave.

Dave any idea what is going on here ? I have never seen this error before. I am running Linux V9 (redhat) and

postgres V7.3.  I keep getting this error and cannot connect. When I connect to my Linux V7.2 maching and

postgres V7.2 all works just fine.
