So, the windows machine can't get to port 5432 on the bsd machine.
The problem can be anything from a firewall (exxternal) to the app not
running on the host machine.
Does that same string work on the bsd box?

Of course, the problem is likely that the bsd box isn't answering on
that port for whatever reason.

Where did you change this? On the bsd box or the windows box (should
be bsd) If on bsd did you then restart the server on bsd?
