Installation Problem

From

Hello people,I have successfully installed (on WIn2k) and written a small
application that uses the Postgres ODBC driver, and have come to install it
on the production Win2k machine and I get this error 

"Test Connection failed because of an error initializing provider. No
pg_hba.conf entry for host 203.xx.xx.xx, user posrtgres, database bmf"

Any ideas would be really appreciated.
Regards,Jamz.

The server is complaining that you don't give the client's IP
permission to connect.  You should check on the server in the pg_hba.conf
file (in the $PGDATA directory, I believe) and give the mentioned IP
(or subnet) a privledge level that will let it connect.


Adding the line:
host         all         127.0.0.1     203.xx.xx.xx     trust

Should let that particular host connect...but you may want more...
