The open command gives me the error > message "Connection to database failed connect DBStart() -- connect() > failed: network is unreachable ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Your networking configuration is broken: the kernel does not believe it can contact itself. I can't give you much help about specific fixes, but until you can do local loopback (such as "telnet 127.0.0.1") you won't have any luck contacting the postmaster via TCP --- which is what PGAccess wants to do. I'd suggest reading some basic networking HOWTOs ... regards, tom lane
