Re: Unable to add server in PGadmin - Mailing list pgadmin-support

Dave/rod,<br />       I checked Under File -> Options -> Preferences, check the 'Reset guru hints'<br />option,
clickOK, and then tried connecting again.<br /><br />This time i got some hint regarding Primary Keys .. but nothing on
theconnection specific errors.. <br /><br />The PGAdmin on the vista box is working all fine ..<br />i have added 2
serversto it one with the local host and the other with an ip address of a linux machine which has postgres running on
it....seems to be working perfectly ,,, <br /><br />But its just not possible to add the postgres server on the Vista
box... through the pgadmin client on my machine <br />:) .donno what i am missing again ..<br /><br />Settings for the
postgresserver on vista which i cross checked are as follows ... <br /><br />Firewall settings checked ...everything
fine,,,Postgres server is not blocked ... <br />postgresql.conf -------- listen_address = '*'<br />pg_hba.conf
-----(hostall all  <a href="http://0.0.0.0/0">0.0.0.0/0</a> trust) so that any system can connect remotely....<br /><br
