Thank you for the replies,
Actually I did not change the port number. For some bizarre reason, the pgsql 8.1 debian package comes with port 5433 pre-configured and this was exactly was causing the problem, of course, I wasn't noting that the port was different, but they are so similar (that's what happens when you have a stressful day of work..). I changed it to 5432 and everything went fine.
Do you see how little changes can make a **big** difference. I wonder what was going through the head of the person who altered the port number for this release...
Thanks,
Marcelo.

Did you purposely change the default port? Are you specifying the change in pgadmin? If the pg_hba.conf file is the problem, pgadmin will tell you with a message like:
FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "IPADDRESS", user "USER", database "DATABASE", SSL ON/OFF
Are you getting a similar message or is the connection timing out? Marcelo de Moraes Serpa wrote:
I can´t connect to my postgresql8.1 server running on Debian. The pgadmin
client says it can't connect. I already edited the pg_hba.conf and
postgresql.conf (listen_addresses = '*' and port) but the problem remains,
pg_admin is running on a XP machine without Firewalls enabled, Debian is
also not running any kind of firewall. I should also note the I just
upgraded to 8.1, some minutes ago I was running 7.4 and connections **were
working fine**.

Any hints greatly appreciated!
