Modifying “pg_hba.conf” file to listen local TCP/IP conection

$

I am starting with PostGIS and there is an error when trying to connect through a TCP/IP connection. What I have done is: installed PostGre 9.3 in my PC, then installed PostGIS 2.3 for postGre 9.3, then I tested the database in my computer using localhost and all worked fine, then I wanted to connect to the database form another computer that is in the same network (from now on, PC2).. I read many forums and then modify pg_hba.conf trying to allow PC2 to connect. I just couldn´t.

Default file:

# TYPE  DATABASE        USER            ADDRESS                 METHOD

# IPv4 local connections:
host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            md5
# IPv6 local connections:
host    all             all             ::1/128                 md5
# Allow replication connections from localhost, by a user with the
# replication privilege.
#host    replication     postgres        127.0.0.1/32            md5
#host    replication     postgres        ::1/128                 md5

And this is how I modified it:

# TYPE  DATABASE        USER            ADDRESS                 METHOD

# IPv4 local connections:
host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            md5
host    all             all             10.0.0.99               md5
# IPv6 local connections:
host    all             all             ::1/128                 md5
# Allow replication connections from localhost, by a user with the
# replication privilege.
#host    replication     postgres        127.0.0.1/32            md5
#host    replication     postgres        ::1/128                 md5

note that the new value is 10.0.0.99, which is the IP address of PC2. I am a bit lost here, anyone can help? Thank you!
