Hi Clayton,
First of all both of your computers must be configured for a TCP/IP
network and the PostgreSQL server must be started with TCP/IP access
enabled, which is the case now by default since v8 if I'm not
mistaken.
Then on the client computer you need a program that can communicate
over TCP/IP with PostgreSQL. There are a lot of these for free on
the web. One example that works on Windows and respects text
encodings is Eduphant which you can download from
<http://aliacta.com/download>.
Cheers,
Marc
