This is usually the result of a network problem.  hba problems are usually
reported as such by PHP.  I would first 2x check the obvious ... did you
mistype the IP or hostname in the connection string?  Check firewall logs
to ensure it's not being blocked by something.  Run tcpdump on the server
to see if it's getting the syn packets.
