I have started postmaster with -i option, but when I try to connect to the server from another computer I obtain: psql: could not connect to server: Nessuna rotta verso l'host Is the server running on host "IP....." and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? when I try to connect from the same computer running the postgres server (using TCP/IP ) psql cave_prova -h IP.... -p 5432 -U aurora the server answer correctly... and I can connect... so I think the TCP/IP socket is working well!!! can you suggest me some ideas for solving this problem??? thank you Ivan -- Ivan Marchesini Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of Perugia Via G.

Does that translate as "No route to host"? If so, you've got basic
networking connectivity problems, unrelated to Postgres. Check
networking parameters, cables firmly attached, etc. When you can
ping the server from the client, then start trying psql ...
