In code I wrote some time ago to support Single Sign-On for an application, I got similar errors with my LDAP processing -- LDAP connection errors -- that were caused by specifying the wrong port (finger check in my code entry). It still did not work when I corrected that so I added the domain name to fully-qualify the hostname of the LDAP server to which I was attempting connection. That solved my problem. See if these are possibilities for you.
