192.168.1.0 is a network address, not a host address. You might want to
check that.

If only you can login to that client, then it's not quite so bad as
effectively only you are trusted. You should be able to set the postgres
user password and use password auth though - did you set it in pgAdmin?
If so, you might want to try switching Encrypted Passwords off under
Tools -> Options and trying again (to set the password).
