Default LDAP and Check Names

We currently have Outlook 2003 connected to an Exchange 5.5 server (neither
of these products can be upgraded), and our organisation has an LDAP server.

I have added the LDAP server into Outlook, and if you go to the Address book
and do a search, it returns all the values it is supposed to.

However, you change the order of the address books so that the LDAP server
is searched first, type a name (surname or forename) into the "To" box and
click check names then the LDAP server is not searched. Instead the
following error is generated: "The search request to the LDAP directory
server has timed out".

It doesn't matter what you set the time out to, it always displays this
error, and I know it works as searching the LDAP server via the address book
function works fine. It is only when going via check names that the problem
occurs.

Any pointers?

This is a long shot, but you could try disabling Virtual List View (VLV)
browsing of an LDAP address book.

I should have mentioned that I have already implemented this.
This solultion is what enabled me to browse the LDAP directory via the
address book.
