PostgreSQL Remote Connection debugging

I'm having issues connecting to my PostgreSQL database from an online source. PostgreSQL seems to be setup up fine it is running on it's default port 5432 and the postgresql.conf has the following line listen_addresses = '*' And the pg_hba.conf has the following host dbname usname all md5 I can connect to the PostgreSQL database from a different machine using the following credentials in pgadmin Name local Host 192.xx.xx.xx Port 5432 Maintenance DB dbname Username usname Password psword Using these I can connect perfectly it seems to work fine. Then I forwarded the port 192.xx.xx.xx:5432 on the ADSL router and checked it using the public IP address 197.xx.xx.xx (visible to the internet IP) http://www.canyouseeme.org/ Where I can see the port was forwarded ok. I've disabled SELinux and disabled the firewall temporarily as well. However when I try to connect using Name online Host 197.xx.xx.xx Port 5432 Maintenance DB dbname Username usname Password psword I get the server doesn't listen error message could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "197.xx.xx.xx" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? Why is this? Do I need to add an extra step to making it accept connections through port forwarding?
