Make 
sure you have PostgreSQL setup to allow access from the IP address that 
you're
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff 
size=2>connecting�from.� (This 
would likely be the firewalls address).� Give that a shot, and 
see
if 
that fixes the issue.

The problem I&#8217;m facing is how to connect to my server when I&#8217;m behind a 
firewall. I tried to open a TCP socket for port 5432. That doesn&#8217;t&#8217; work 
because 
I don&#8217;t have a way to tell pgadminII that I&#8217;m pointing 
to a firewall proxy.

do. If you�firewall is transparent, then you should just be able to connect 
as normal. If you are using some form of port forwarding, then�I guess you 
would point pgAdmin at the listening port on your firewall, which�will 
forward the data to the PostgreSQL server. This would require that the port 
forwarding (i.e. PostgreSQL server/port) be configured on the firewall, not in 
pgAdmin.
