pg_hba.conf issue - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Hi friends,

I am Jayakumar and  new to PostgreSQL world. I am using PostgreSQL 8.1.3
in Windows 2000 machine.

My problem is, I am unable to connect to PostgreSQL server from another
machine's psql client.

My system IP is 172.16.84.76, and client machine IP is 172.16.85.243.

I can connect to the PostgreSQL server with " psql -Uroot
-h172.16.84.76"
from same system(172.16.84.76)

If I give the above command from 172.16.85.243, results

D:\\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\bin>psql -Uroot - h172.16.84.76
psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061)
        Is the server running on host "172.16.84.76" and accepting
        TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

I don't know how to do this in windows.


here pg_hba.conf entries follows
*************************************

Please find my problem, give me the solution...
