Error In connection ??

Hello,

I get an error in my log when connecting to postgres server on Windows.
Postgres version : 8.0.0-beta4

LOG TEXT

2004-11-10 11:22:47 LOG: invalid entry in file "C:/Program
Files/PostgreSQL/8.0.0-beta4/data/pg_hba.conf" at line 64, token
"192.168.2.1/254"
2004-11-10 11:22:47 FATAL: missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf file
2004-11-10 11:22:47 HINT: See server log for details.

Configuration file pg_hba.conf

host all all 192.168.2.1/254 md5

You don't have 254 bits in in IP address. Did you mean /32?

Re: Error In connection ??

My understanding was it means ip range of 1 to 254.

192.168.2.1 to 192.168.1.254

Re: Error In connection ??

The IP of the client machine aim connecting from is 192.168.2.123
Which is greater than 32.

Thanks !

No, it refers to the number of bits. You can use either of:
192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0
192.168.2.0/24
Both of these cover the range:
192.168.2.1 - 192.168.1.255

Might be worth searching for a network howto on CIDR subnet formats.

Re: Error In connection ??

Its works if I specify the ipaddress of each client which is being
connecting to the server.
Its hard to do it on a DHCP network . Any roundabouts ?
