I am using  Fedora 1.1 on Fedora 6 x86 machine.  When i fill in the entries and click next a message pops up saying "Unable to connet to Active Directory server, continue?".  Also in the domain controller host field can I specify the IP address of the machine?. 

The error log for DS server is below. The IP is the windows xp machine on whcih I am  runnign the remote DS console.
