You need to change the connection info from localhost (i.e. "the computer I am working on now") to a name or ip-address that can be reached from the other computers you want to work on your project from. Given that the postgres server is set up to allow access to other computers (correctly set listen_address in postgresql.conf) this will also work fine from the host you originally was working on. Alternatively - if it is a static data base, you can install copies of it on all computers you want to work on.
the qgis project file is an xml-file, so you can open (or preferably a copy of it...) in a text editor and change the connection information directly - just search through it to make sure you change it everywhere through the file... (the connection information looks pretty much like the text in the dialog box you sent) Hope this helps.
