LDAP (not AD) query in vb/asp.net

I am attempting to get information from an OpenLDAP server (NOT Active
Directory) using the DirectoryServices object. The response is always "There
is no such object on the server", but I can use other LDAP clients with the
same filter and get the response I expect. I think it has something to do
with the way I set the path in the DirectoryEntry. Thanks for any help you
can provide. Here is the code:

Public Function GetLDAP() As ArrayList
Dim dSearcher As New DirectorySearcher
Dim searchResults As SearchResultCollection
Dim searchResult As SearchResult
Dim rtn As New ArrayList
Dim mCount As Integer

Try
dSearcher.SearchRoot = New
DirectoryEntry("LDAP://directory.ucsb.edu:389", "anonymous", "",
System.DirectoryServices.AuthenticationTypes.Anony mous)
dSearcher.Filter = "(objectClass=*)"
searchResults = dSearcher.FindAll()

mCount = searchResults.Count
If mCount > 0 Then
For Each searchResult In searchResults
rtn.Add(searchResult.GetDirectoryEntry().ToString)
Next
End If
Catch e As Exception
rtn.Add("Error=" & e.Message)
Return rtn
End Try

Return rtn

End Function
