OK, thank you, found the problem, due to your questions. Yes, it is running and listening to port 389. But when I tried to ping the server p4ds03 on the server itself p4ds03, it 1st tried to ping using an older IP address. I had to change its IP address a day before. I made the change the ifcfg-eth0 file and in DNS, I did do a ifdown eth0 and ifup eth0, but there was still an entry in the arp cache with the older IP address. Thus I cleared it out with "arp -d p4ds03" and all works!!! Rich, thank you for your persistence!!!! Most grateful!!!
