Have you set listen_addresses?

Major release 8.2 hits end of life in five months.

8.2.4 is very old.  You should be on the latest bug fix release of
8.2.

You can get some sense of the bug and security fixes you will be
missing by reading the files from 8.2.5 to 8.2.21 here:
 
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/release.html
 
If setting listen_addresses and restarting PostgreSQL doesn't fix
your connectivity problem, please read this page and post again:
