Hi list, I am using postgresql 8.2 on Ubuntu Gutsy. I am attempting to connect to my database on one computer from another computer on my network. I can connect to the database if I have:
listen_addresses = '*' in my postgresql.conf file. But I can't connect if I have: listen_addresses = 'localhost, 192.168.2.102' in my postgresql.conf file. The computer that is assigned 192.168.2.102 is the computer I am attempting to connect from that works with the * but not with an assigned IP address. I understand that having a * allows all connections but I am attempting to restrict this so only a certain computer can access the database. Does anyone know why I can't connect to the database from another computer when specifying the IP address in 'listen_addresses' and how to fix my problem? Thanks a lot for the help. Dan
