I have postgressQL installed on my desktop for a poker program

I want to access that database using the aame program installed on my
laptop over my wireless network.

I was pointed to some instructions but they don't seem to work.
I followed them to the letter and have disabled the desktops firewall ( no
help ) and made sure the postgres directories are shared with permissions
for everyone to read / write.

But I haven't been able to make it work.

Can someone point me to some good instructions on connecting to postres
over a network for Windows 7 64 bit?

Thanks

that's okay


that's wrong and a REALLY bad idea...


You have to enable listen on tcp/ip for your network-interface (see
postgresql.conf) and you need a proper entry for your remote host (or
network) in your pg_hba.conf. Read the docs, available here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/i...-hba-conf.html for
more details.

Not the cookbook you want, but:

- Configure the server so that it listens on the network:
listen_addresses='*' in postgresql.conf. Verify with "netstat -a".
- You might need to change pg_hba.conf on the server to allow remote
connections.
- Get the Windows Installer from EnterpriseDB

Install only the client components on the client machine (not the server).
- In the DOS-Box:
psql.exe -h <host name of server> -p <server port> -d <database name> -U <user name>

Thanks for the replies guys. I got it. I had been using an IP with /32 and
it should have been /24. Changed that and now everything is working just
fine.
