The LDAPNetAddr sample code by Jay Burrell enables you to extract a readable network address from the LDAP-encoded
networkAddress attribute. Simply pass the networkAddress attribute from an LDAP Query, and this function
will return a string of "AddrType:" such as "IP: 192.168.1.12"

LDAP Format, String:
taggedData = uint32String "#" octetstring
byte 0 = uint32String = Address Type: 0= IPX Address; 1 = IP Address
byte 1 = char = "#" - separator
byte 2+ = octetstring - the ordinal value of the address
Note: with eDirectory 8.6.2, the IP address (type 1) returns correctly, however, an IPX address does not seem to. eDir 8.7 may correct this.
