Im setting my database at home computer so that I can access it when I go on holiday. The computer is behind a router with ip address 192.168.0.198. I made a free account to www.dyndns.com, etc. I think I have done all that had been said here before.

Here's my pg_hba.conf:


# PostgreSQL Client Authentication Configuration File
# ================================================== =
#
# Refer to the "Client Authentication" section in the
# PostgreSQL documentation for a complete description
# of this file. A short synopsis follows.
#
# This file controls: which hosts are allowed to connect, how clients
# are authenticated, which PostgreSQL user names they can use, which
# databases they can access. Records take one of these forms:
#
# local DATABASE USER METHOD [OPTION]
# host DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD [OPTION]
# hostssl DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD [OPTION]
# hostnossl DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD [OPTION]
#
# (The uppercase items must be replaced by actual values.)
#
# The first field is the connection type: "local" is a Unix-domain socket,
# "host" is either a plain or SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket, "hostssl" is an
# SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket, and "hostnossl" is a plain TCP/IP socket.
#
# DATABASE can be "all", "sameuser", "samerole", a database name, or
# a comma-separated list thereof.
#
# USER can be "all", a user name, a group name prefixed with "+", or
# a comma-separated list thereof. In both the DATABASE and USER fields
# you can also write a file name prefixed with "@" to include names from
# a separate file.
#
# CIDR-ADDRESS specifies the set of hosts the record matches.
# It is made up of an IP address and a CIDR mask that is an integer
# (between 0 and 32 (IPv4) or 128 (IPv6) inclusive) that specifies
# the number of significant bits in the mask. Alternatively, you can write
# an IP address and netmask in separate columns to specify the set of hosts.
#
# METHOD can be "trust", "reject", "md5", "crypt", "password", "gss", "sspi",
# "krb5", "ident", "pam" or "ldap". Note that "password" sends passwords
# in clear text; "md5" is preferred since it sends encrypted passwords.
#
# OPTION is the ident map or the name of the PAM service, depending on METHOD.
#
# Database and user names containing spaces, commas, quotes and other special
# characters must be quoted. Quoting one of the keywords "all", "sameuser" or
# "samerole" makes the name lose its special character, and just match a
# database or username with that name.
#
# This file is read on server startup and when the postmaster receives
# a SIGHUP signal. If you edit the file on a running system, you have
# to SIGHUP the postmaster for the changes to take effect. You can use
# "pg_ctl reload" to do that.

# Put your actual configuration here
# ----------------------------------
#
# If you want to allow non-local connections, you need to add more
# "host" records. In that case you will also need to make PostgreSQL listen
# on a non-local interface via the listen_addresses configuration parameter,
# or via the -i or -h command line switches.
#



# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD

# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
host all all 192.168.1.0/24 md5
host all all 192.168.0.198/32 md5
#host all all 192.168.0.199/32 md5
host all all 0.0.0.0 md5
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 md5
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
host all all 192.168.0.1/24 md5
host all all 192.168.1.0/24 md5
host all all 0.0.0.0 md5
host all all 192.168.0.198/32 md5

The only things i can ask you is to check your router whether he has port 5432 open and you can try a hamachi VPN connection (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamachi).

But for further help i suggest you ask some experts at a Postgresql community (http://www.postgresql.org/community/)

Now it's working! Thanks to my friend, he told me to add /0 to 0.0.0.0. So now it looks like this, I know there are extra lines that I don't need:


# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD

#host all all 192.168.0.199/32 md5

thanks, been figuring out this for hours, now it works! :D
