Did you include the "-i" switch when starting the postmaster? It
enables TCP/IP connections since the postmaster only uses UNIX
domain sockets per default.

Try to open a telnet session from your NT workstation to the machine 
hosting the PostgreSQL server, a least you should see something like:

frog# telnet frog 5432
Trying ?.?.?.?...
Connected to frog.
Escape character is '^]'.

EInvalid packet length
Connection closed by foreign host.
