You need to enable listening on the network in postgresql.conf
(listen_addresses = '*') and you also need to permit access to the
particular remote machine in pg_hba.conf by setting up an appropriate
host connection.  After changing those files you need to restart the
server or at least send it a SIGHUP.  Any firewall needs to allow
through packets for port 5432 (or whatever else you are using).
