With the help of Andreas, I could finally connect a from a guest xp running with vmware inside a host xp machine
Now I'm trying to do the same with a host gentoo box and a guest xp SP1
this is my pg_hba.conf
---
tux data # cat pg_hba.conf | tail -n 8
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all trust
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all
127.0.0.1/32 trust
host all all
192.168.0.0/16 md5
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 trust
---
my postgresql.conf
---
tux data # cat postgresql.conf | grep listen
# "pg_ctl reload". Some settings, such as listen_address, require
listen_addresses = '*'
#listen_addresses = 'localhost' # what IP interface(s) to listen on;
---
and my /etc/conf.d/postgresql
---
tux data # cat /etc/conf.d/postgresql
# PostgreSQL's Database Directory
PGDATA=/var/lib/postgresql/data
# Logfile path: (NOTE: This must be uid/gid owned by the value of $PGUSER!)
PGLOG=/var/lib/postgresql/data/postgresql.log
# Run the PostgreSQL user as:
PGUSER=postgres
# Extra options to run postmaster with.
# If you want to enable TCP/IP for PostgreSQL, add -i to the following:
#PGOPTS="-N 1024 -B 2048 -i"
PGOPTS="-i"

I have the xp guest configured to use NAT network connection, and in the host file I've configured the ip address of the host.
I can ping each other by ip address or name, thanks to the hosts file in both machines
----
(pinging from the host)
tux data # ping xp
PING xp (
192.168.103.128) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from xp (

When I try to connect from the host using pgaminIII for windows, I get the following error:
"Server not listening"
Am I missing something???
