Re: BUG #3361: connect problem with server

The first thing I would do is telnet to the host on port 5432 like
this ...

telnet www.outsourcingboom.com 5432

You should get connected.  If you type something (e.g. hello), the
remote postgres server will not understand and will close the
connection, but you will know that the port is open and accepting
connections on that server, and there are no firewalls, etc. blocking
you.

If you cannot connect to that port, then you have either a network
problem (firewall, etc.), or the host is not configured to accept
connections from you.
