Werner; Activating tcp/ip listening is different than 7.*. You need to uncomment the following line in your postgresql.conf and change it to listen on a specified interface or '*' for all interfaces.
Listen_addresses='*' Then restart the service. Another very useful parameter on Windows to change is to change the log_destination to 'eventlog'. That way if the service does not start, you can go to the event log and get some fairly detailed information about what is wrong.

Need to setup a 8.* server on Windows. Postgresql 8 is rejecting TCP/IP connections. Tried to acivate tcpip_sockets, as in the 7.4.* versions, configuring postgresql.conf param tcpip_sockets, but it is not recognized by version 8 (it even fails to start if included). Client IP's have an entry in pg_hba.conf. Is there any other task that must be done in order to get TCP/IP connections working?
