Re: PGAdmin will not connect

what does your pg_hba.conf say about alowing hosts? Is your host allowed 
to connect to the database?
Read your logfile and see if there's something that gives a clue as to 
why it won't allow the host...

Could also have something to do with encryption? is a certain way of 
encryption required and could it be that pgAdmin does not support it?
(would give the bad user/password error, but it's worth the try)

If you're not certain where the fault is, try this checklist
On the database machine itself:
- connect to the database locally (if it's ok, the postmaster is running)
- telnet localhost 5432 (do you get a 'connected' status (but otherwise 
no good info, for telnet is not psql ;-)) the database accepts socket 
connections)
- telnet <your ip> 5432 (same as above, but the postmaster will see you 
as from your local IP, and not localhost)
From the client:
- ping <db server> : going OK? Your network is OK
- telnet <dbserver> 5432: going OK? You can reach the postmaster, so 
there's no problems with the database...

if all of these tests were succesfull, you should really check your 
logfile for clues as to what went wrong.
A linux / unix way of checking out what's going on:
tail -f logfile
<try to connect> and see what new lines appear in the log...

Hope it helps you on your way...
