Hi Siva,

Are you sure it's not the build in firewall in XP which is causing trouble? Probably you'll have to allow access to the right port.

About your question, to access the DB in a network, you must create an exception rule in XP Firewall, for port 5432 ( IN/OUT ).
Don't forget that for SP2 pack, users must have password to access folders in the server.
