Connection to another LDAP server

["Corisen" <csyap@starnet.gov.sg>]

1. i've an existing LDAP server (ldap.server1211.com) running OpenLDAP
version 1.2.11 on RH6.2
2. i've installed OpenLDAP 2.0.6 (using rpm) on another separate machine
running RH7.
3. both machines are on the same network.
4. i executed this command on the LDAP 2.0.6 machine: "ldapsearch -x -v -P
2 -b "dc=server1211,dc=com" -h "dc=ldap.server1211.com" "cn=*"

5. i was unable to connect and perform search on the LDAP 1.2.11 server from
the machine with OpenLDAP 2.0.6 installed.
6. the following error message was displayed upon execution of the command
from the LDAP 2.0.6 machine:
ldap_init( ldap.starnet.gov.sg, 0 )
ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server

pls kindly advise.

thank you very much.
