Well, this sounds like a network problem, as others have suggested. 
Check that your XP machine and the machine with the PostgreSQL server 
are on the same subnet, or are otherwise able to talk to each other. Are 
you able to use telnet or ssh to open a terminal session from one to the 
other? Did you try using psql to connect to the DBMS?
