    You need to update some configuration files. They will be in a sub directory of your postgresql install in the data directory. On Windows most likely C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.1\data

    1. You need to update your postgres.conf file to listen_addresses = '*' so the postgres service can be seen by other machines. See 18.3. Connections and Authentication.

    2. To let any machine connect to postgres pg_hba.conf. The 0.0.0.0/0 says let any ip address connect. You can trim this down so it’s only ip ranges on your network. See 19.1. The pg_hba.conf File.
