Re: pg_hba.conf & putty

What address are you using for "server.ip.address"?
I believe this is the address you should put in your pg_hba.conf, not
127.0.0.1.

Then in PgAdmin, connect to localhost:5432.
You can always check your PostgreSQL logs and see what source address
the request is coming from.
