dblink does not connect when activated in a remote server

dblink problem:

I am connecting to a remote server and run a functions that calls
another one using db_link.
It fails with the error message is 08001 - could not establish
connection.

When the function is located in a local server - it runs fine.

The connection string is:

'hostaddr=127.0.0.1 .....'

The following were tried but did not help:
'host=localhost' and even  providing the real target server
('host=tlvl0390') did not help.

Happens on WIndows as well as Unix

Can you help?

Thanks

Danny

Does the remote server have the relevant port opened up in its firewall?

Is postgres set to allow TCP/IP connections in the postgresql.conf?
