Is there a firewall on the box? Most modern Linux systems, ES3 included,
can do their own firewalling, so you might wanna fire up whatever lets you
edit the firewall on ES3 and see if you can poke a hole in it for port
5432. You can test if the server is responding on that port by using nmap
nmap -p 5432 youriphere
