Hi.

I currently have two computers that I use for poker play. But atm I only have PokerTracker on one of these computers.

So I was wondering if there were any possibilites to install PT on my other PC too, and have the PT database updated on both computers when I play. I know I can manually import certain files back and forth between the PCs, but is there any easier way?

Thanks.


Btw, I found this tut, but I am not behind a router. http://www.pokertracker.com/forums/v...hp?f=45&t=4638

You can set it up so that you can access PostgreSQL on that machine from anywhere using very similar steps. Instead of "host all all 192.168.0.0/24 md5" use "host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5". That will allow anyone to attempt to connect to your server, so you really do want to use the md5 encryption. You'll also want to make sure that any firewall you have is configured to allow port 5432 to remain open for external connections, but otherwise you should be able to connect after this.

Ok, so I just follow that guide I linked, and replace the IP with 0.0.0.0./0, and then I can even be playing over at a buddy of mine's home and the database still updates @ both computers?

Btw, I dont know sh*t about internetconfigs, IPs etc, but should I have a password or something so that not the entire worlds databases uploads to me? Lol.

Yes, that's how it works, the default password is dbpass, though you'll probably want to change that so that it's a bit more secure.

The easiest way to do that is to open pgAdmin from your Start menu (it's under PostgreSQL 8.3), connect to the postgres database, click the little SQL notepad at the top and run the following query:
ALTER USER postgres WITH PASSWORD 'new password here';

Put your new password in the single quotes (you do need those quotes, and don't forget the semicolon). You'll need to change the password PT3 uses on your local machine to the new one as well, but it should prompt you when it starts up saying that it can't connect.

Alright, thanks alot, Ill try it out.
