Unfortunately that is not the case in my instance; DNS is fine and
there are no issues with name resolution. The server
(intranet.wilderness.org.au) exists and indeed i can access websites
running on the same server from my linux machine with no worries at
all.

from my windows machine:
c:\windows\ping -n 2 intranet.wilderness.org.au

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.262/0.286/0.310/0.024 ms

The issue i am having is that i am not getting prompted for
authentication to the LDAP server.

"..There comes a time when the operation of the machine becomes so
odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part, you can't
even passively take part; and you've got to put your bodies upon the
gears and upon the wheels, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to
make it stop, And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, the
people who own it, that unless you're free the machine will be prevented
from working at all.." - Mario Savio (1964)
