The settings in you pg_hba.conf aren't really correct. The second line won't work at all. The max value after the "/" is 32. This is not for the port number. You might wish to search setting a CIDR value, but if you want to allow:
Just 192.168.1.1 then
host all all 192.168.1.1/32 trust
If you want all the systems in 192.168.1.x then
host all all 192.168.1.0/24 trust
If you want all the systems in 192.168.x.x then
host all all 192.168.0.0/16 trust
Hope this helps,
Jay
