203.216.99.58 ?) and you use the same url in the program running on the
server it could also mean that have to add the IP-address of your server to
this file.Which it would like something like this:host all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trusthost all
client-ipaddress255.255.255.255
trusthost all server-ipaddress 255.255.255.255 trust
