Actually, when I try to access it I get "addressbook not found on this
server" or something like that (machine's at work, I'm at home).

I've verified that the machine I've specified is indeed our Global
Catalogue server.  I've had some success adding it as an LDAP server and
querying it that way...it brings back names although it then throws up
and error message stating that the query failed (after providing
results), and using it a few times under autocompletion makes the ldap
server functionality die completely.

Did you have to do anything special on your active directory server to
make this work?

Thanks!
