I just put the windows version of ethereal on my pc system.

If I get time I'll try to sniff some packets to see what is
going on.

That's very odd. Connection happens at the TCP layer, which is entirely
independent of any application protocol (LDAP or otherwise). There's no
way to "connect" with a DN, *unless* what you have to do is send the TCP
"SYN"
packet together with a Bind PDU.

If you sniff a successful "connect with a DN" from another UA, does that
look like what's happening?

Cheers,

Chris
