Computer 2 (POS):
I get an error message "Could not connect to server: Connection timed out.
Is the server running and accepting TCP/IP connections?
Computer 1 (Server):
When i click "Start service" for the PostgreSQL i get this message: "Local
Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they
have no work to do"

How can i solve this, please assist...thank you.

What platform are you on? - I'm guessing Windows from the above. Have
you looked in (i) the Windows event log and (ii) the PostgreSQL log to
see if there's anything there?

You cannot connect to the server because it's not started. Why it isn't
started, I don't know. You should probably look in your Windows Events
log, or in the PostgreSQL logs if you activated the logging_collector.

And you should probably ask this on pgsql-general.
