Hi, I am facing the same problem even though i run postmaster with "-i" and -p
5432 option.
psql connects over the loopback but,
psql -d mydb -h 192.168.0.34 -p 5432 - fails to connect. (192.168.0.34 is my IP)
I rectified this by editing the /var/lib/pgsql/pg_hba.conf to add
host all 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 trust
at the end of the file....
I know this is not ideal, with no security, but then , i can connect using ip...
But i am still not able to connect thru ODBC on Win95... any solutions ?
