C# Active Directory - Migrate to System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement

I'm trying to migrate some code to the System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement classes introduced in .NET 3.5

My old code worked like this and continues to work:

var directoryEntry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://{ip address}", "{domain}\\{users}", "{password}", AuthenticationTypes.Secure);

My new code running on same machine under the same project doesn't work:

var principalContext = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "{domain}", "ldap://{ip address}/DC=company,DC=local", ContextOptions.Negotiate, "{users}", "{password}");

The new code throws an error "The server cannot be contacted", and I feel like it should connect since it's running the same machine and under the same Visual Studio project.

Any suggestions?

The correct input for the fourth parameter in this case is just DC=company,DC=local.
