Can not connect using TCP/IP [Archive]

I have installed Red Hat Linux 7.3 with the PostgreSQL RPMs that come with it.
On another ( Windows) machine I have installed pgAdmin.
pgAdmin does not connect to the server.
I have tried to telnet to port 5432 but no connection as well.
I have alsoe tried to connect to port 5432 from the Linux machine the Postgre is installed on.
I have read somewhere that you have to use some kind of server startup switch to enable the TCPIP communication.
Can anyone give me some details how to do it.
I am fairly new to Linux so please be somewhat specific.

Thanks

pg_hba.conf:
check whats your AUTH_TYPE and the allowed connections

postgresql.conf:
check if your tcpip_socket configuration is TRUE
