I have Postgres 8.0-beta2 set up on two machines (one Windows 2000 Server,
the other Windows XP Pro); I have Postgres up and running as a service on
both machines, no problem. I'm even able to go into psql and putz around.
However, I am not able to log on remotely using pgAdmin III. Whenever I
attempt to add a server, I get the following message:



An error has occurred:



Error connecting to the server: could not connect to the server: Connection
refused (0x0000274D/10061)

Is the server running on host "nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn" and accepting

TCP/IP connections on port 5432?



The answer is, yes the server is running on the host, and there are no
restrictions on either machine for port 5432. It fails in both directions.
The machines can see each other on the network.



Thanks in advance for all your help.

That means the operating system rejected the connection, which probably
means a firewall/packet filter problem. If the request had made it as
far as the postmaster, you'd have gotten a different response.

I think you're dead wrong on that last assertion.

On the off-chance that you're running ZoneAlarm, make sure that postgres
is allowed to run as a server.
