If you can telnet then I would say your network and firewall is right
and the error with pg_hba.conf is where you need to look.
The pg_hba.conf is located in the data dir that you have specified for
postgresql. Is it there? What entries do you have after all the
comments? The errornous part would indicate a small syntax error or did
you edit it on windows with cr/nl characters and copy it across to linux?

Look into the postmaster log to get more details about what it didn't
like.
(Also, consider using a client that doesn't throw away the HINT part
of an error message ...)

Shane,
I attached the pg_hba.conf I have on the server. I can use pgadmin3 when
I connect from the server itself, so I think the pg_hba on the server is
correct.
From the client machine I cannot connect through pgadmin3. Is there
another way to test connection client server? Has pg a textual client to
send sql statements?
Thanks a lot
Simone

# PostgreSQL Client Authentication Configuration File
# ===================================================
#
# Refer to the "Client Authentication" section in the
# PostgreSQL documentation for a complete description
# of this file. A short synopsis follows.
#
# This file controls: which hosts are allowed to connect, how clients
# are authenticated, which PostgreSQL user names they can use, which
# databases they can access. Records take one of these forms:
#
# local DATABASE USER METHOD [OPTION]
# host DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD [OPTION]
# hostssl DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD [OPTION]
# hostnossl DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD [OPTION]
#
# (The uppercase items must be replaced by actual values.)
#
# The first field is the connection type: "local" is a Unix-domain socket,
# "host" is either a plain or SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket, "hostssl" is an
# SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket, and "hostnossl" is a plain TCP/IP socket.
#
# DATABASE can be "all", "sameuser", "samerole", a database name, or
# a comma-separated list thereof.
#
# USER can be "all", a user name, a group name prefixed with "+", or
# a comma-separated list thereof. In both the DATABASE and USER fields
# you can also write a file name prefixed with "@" to include names from
# a separate file.
#
# CIDR-ADDRESS specifies the set of hosts the record matches.
# It is made up of an IP address and a CIDR mask that is an integer
# (between 0 and 32 (IPv4) or 128 (IPv6) inclusive) that specifies
# the number of significant bits in the mask. Alternatively, you can write
# an IP address and netmask in separate columns to specify the set of hosts.
#
# METHOD can be "trust", "reject", "md5", "crypt", "password", "gss", "sspi",
# "krb5", "ident", "pam" or "ldap". Note that "password" sends passwords
# in clear text; "md5" is preferred since it sends encrypted passwords.
#
# OPTION is the ident map or the name of the PAM service, depending on METHOD.
#
# Database and user names containing spaces, commas, quotes and other special
# characters must be quoted. Quoting one of the keywords "all", "sameuser" or
# "samerole" makes the name lose its special character, and just match a
# database or username with that name.
#
# This file is read on server startup and when the postmaster receives
# a SIGHUP signal. If you edit the file on a running system, you have
# to SIGHUP the postmaster for the changes to take effect. You can use
# "pg_ctl reload" to do that.
# Put your actual configuration here
# ----------------------------------
#
# If you want to allow non-local connections, you need to add more
# "host" records. In that case you will also need to make PostgreSQL listen
# on a non-local interface via the listen_addresses configuration parameter,
# or via the -i or -h command line switches.
#
# DO NOT DISABLE!
# If you change this first entry you will need to make sure that the
# database
# super user can access the database using some other method.
# Noninteractive
# access to all databases is required during automatic maintenance
# (autovacuum, daily cronjob, replication, and similar tasks).
#
# Database administrative login by UNIX sockets
local all postgres ident sameuser
# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all ident sameuser
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 md5
host all all 192.168.1.101 md5
host all all 192.168.159.1 md5
host all all 192.168.148.1 md5
# connections for all the pcs on the subnet
#
# TYPE DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK METHOD
host all all 192.168.148.0 255.255.255.0
host all all 192.168.159.0 255.255.255.0

The attached pg_hba.conf file does have several mistakes in.
Every entry needs a mask or cidr and an auth-method. Pleas see the manual at
chapter 21.1 for details about the different formats which are recognized.
psql is a command line tool to access a database.
Best regards
Ivo

No, that just means that this one line:
local all postgres ident sameuser
is correct.

psql
All other comments stand as well, you don't have proper net masks on
the entries, and we don't know which ips you're trying to connect
from, so...
