I get the message 'Server not listening'   What else can I do??   Bob Postgresql is configure by default to drop all connections that are not localhost see http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/auth-pg-hba-conf.html to make sure its configured to accept connections other than localhost Second on the router make sure port 5432 is open and porting to the Postgresql which is the default port.
