Thanks for the replies. I'm going to check $mesg->references() to see what
it says. My ethereal trace shows that all the data is sent. It's just split
into multiple packets. Weird.

I don't understand the LDAPv2+ vs. LDAPv2. Are you saying that Net::LDAP is
using LDAPv2+ or are you saying the win2k server is using LDAPv2+? I didn't
specifically tell either the client or the server to do anything so maybe I
need to flick a switch somewhere to tell it to stop that.

Thanks again,
