Hi Tom, Thanx for the reply and suggestion. Actually , I did wait for more than 5 hrs before posting this issue in this alias. It will be really great if you can advise on how to proceed from here. Does the below information points to any issue with my Linux Box configuration is it an issue with POSTGRES:
The O/P of >netstat -plunt | grep 5432 (Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.) tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:54320 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN - udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:54321 0.0.0.0:* - And O/P of netstat -ranv Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 10.83.103.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.192 U 0 0 0 eth2 64.102.29.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth2 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 64.102.29.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 Thanx in advance.

Many TCP stacks have a timeout before they will let a pre-existing port number be reassigned. (This is to prevent any risk of packets for old connections getting delivered to the new owner of the port.) regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
