Sorry here is the error log for DS server

[09/Jan/2008:13:33:50 -0500] NSMMReplicationPlugin - agmt="cn=AD sync" (netsweep-41a75e:636): Simple bind failed, LDAP sdk error 91 (Can't connect to the LDAP server), Netscape Portable Runtime error -5987 (Invalid function argument.)

It cannot connect to AD. I imported the CA certificate into the Installation folder of the console in the windows xp machine.
