Yes, research the problem. On the DSA [LDAP server] is the slapd server listening on the expected port? netstat --listen --tcp --program Given the contents of /etc/openldap/ldap.conf [or wherever your client LDAP config is] - does the hostname specified there resolve? Is the port specified the same the server is listening on? Can you "telnet hostname port-number" from the client and get a connection? All this is just standard debugging steps.
