Re: Remote / network connection fails

Dear Tom & Andrej,
it pretty much looks like a firewall problem. Although I am still not sure, what's wrong
with my firewall, I solved the connection problem via SSH-tunneling
(http://www.postgresonline.com/journal/index.php?/archives/38-PuTTY-for-SSH-Tunneling-to-PostgreSQL-Server.html).

Thank you so much for helping,
Nils
