Please check if the IPA is running, the DS is running. Check the logs
that the compat plugin is loaded and working.
You can also try looking at the compat tree from the server itself to
verify that the plugin, at least the DS part is functional.

This generally smells as a firewall issue but I have not way to prove or
disprove the theory.
