The pg_hba lines should be:
host all all 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.255 password
host template1 postgres 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.255 password
host minitest postgres 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.255 password

192.168.255.255 is not a valid netmask. The mask above will match one
host. If you meant to match the entire subnet (192.168.*.*), instead put
host minitest postgres 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0 password
