Could this be why our Win98 machines do not see the > LDAP server ? Netscape cannot use a HTTP proxy for connecting to LDAP servers. If the LDAP server stands behind the firewall from the LDAP client's point of view and the firewall must not allow packets to 389/tcp you're lost. Note: Some firewalls might allow ICMP packets (for ping) but disallow TCP connects on certain ports. If there's no firewall between your LDAP server and the clients you have a configuration problem on the LDAP server. Ciao, Michael.
