I checked the pg_hda.conf file and the 192.168.0.3 server is included (the one on which both postgres and gnome-db are installed). I seem to figure out that gnome-db relies on network operation while psql doesn't. That would clear why psql works and gnome-db not. No?

this seems to be the postgres server not accepting tcp/ip connections.
So, to check it, be sure that the postmaster is being started with the
-i option, which causes it to accept tcp/ip connections. That should
work.
