Thread: Error connecting via ODBC - 'Could not connect to remote socket'

Could you offer any assistance as to why I am receiving this error?  I am using postgresql 6.5.1 on Linux Mandrake 6.1 and I am trying to connect via ODBC from a Windows 98 box using Access 97.  I have the startup script for postmaster forcing port 5432 with the following options:

-S -D/var/lib/plsql -i -s -p5432

I would appreciate nay assistance you could provide.  I have been struggling with this error for some time.

                                Thanks, James Pitman
