Do I need to change anything else besides tcpip_socket to true for remote connections? Is there anyway to check that this is actually working? I'm having trouble connecting remotely.. btw thank you all for your help.. using postgresql has made my life easier than you would have ever believed!!

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)

You should also check the authorisation in pg_hba.conf, to ensure that
users are allowed to connect from the remote sites.

Do I need to change anything else besides tcpip_socket to true for remote
connections?

For some strange reason this is configured via the file $PGDATA/pg_hba.conf
instead via some table in the system catalog (that's what I would have expected).

See the chapter "Client Authentification" in the Administrator's Guide.

Is there anyway to check that this is actually working?

Start psql.

The reason (for using ph_hba.conf) actually makes sense. ;) If it was
all stored in system catalogs, and you screwed them up and locked
yourself completely out of the database, you'd be in big trouble.
With text files, you can always fix them with an editor.
