Ah... you need to edit pg_hba.conf and add an entry for the client to
allow it access.

The documentation in the file itself is pretty good, and there's more here:

I meant to add too that pg_hba.comf is found in the top level of your
PostgreSQL data directory.

Hi, I am trying to create my DB schema on the server through my
development laptop.

I have installed Web Server 2008 and PostgreSQL. They are both
running. For some reason its not working.

Define : "it's"

Do I need to open some firewall ports?

maybe, please use some network probe tool (telnet even!!)

PostgreSQL runs on 5432. ( I think I did that though).

Yes

Do I need to configure PG somehow as well?

properly...

Please read the docs on how to setup PG tfor remote access.
If you use a search engine please search for pg_hba.conf.

I don't know what Web Server 2008 and can't help you there,

Thanks / Jennifer

This begs several questions, but first let me see if I can sketch out the
layout.

Laptop(OS ?) <--> App(Java) <--> WebServer 2008(Windows) <--> Postgres(Version?)

Questions:
1) Is logging enabled at the various points in the chain and if so what do the
logs say?
2) Is there an authentication mechanism and if so, is the correct information
being passed through the chain?
3) Do you have network connectivity outside this above chain i.e can you ping
the server from the laptop?

Default PG installation is setup to work only on localhost or 127.0.0.1

You need to edit your pg_hba.conf file too. Look for the lines:
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5

Add a line below that depending the IP address range that you want to
connect from, similar to:
host all all 10.0.0.1/8 md5

Remember to reload your configuration.

Also, I don't know if this applies to windows systems, but on linux systems
you have to also modify postgresql.conf
On my system, it is in the same directory as pg_hba.conf
looks like this:

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# CONNECTIONS AND AUTHENTICATION
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# - Connection Settings -

listen_addresses = '192.168.1.101' # what IP address(es) to
listen on;

The address here is mine, it is set to localhost or 127.0.0.1 by default

No. The default is localhost only. if you need 127.0.0.1 you may need to add
it.

Operating systems are moving to IP6 and a recent windows(?) update saw
localhost move to ::1 (from 127.0.0.1) for me this broke some things
that were expecting to find postgres on 127.0.0.1
