Hi Eneja It is indeed possible to connect to postgres on the ubuntu server from pgadmin on windows, but it requires changing a configuration setting on postgres. By default it won't listen to network connections for security reasons. In general I would leave that setting alone unless you know

Thanks Bob. I've done that at the postgres# prompt and there's simply no feedback. I am contemplating installing pgAdmin on the server then attempt to connect to it from a Windows pc. Do you think this is a good way to proceed? Regards, Eneja. -- Original message-- From: Bob Jolliffe
