OpenLDAP client: Can't contact LDAP server

Hello,
I'm new to LDAP, and I'm trying to create a LDAP network with two Arch Linux VMs,  in QEMU
Both VMs can ping each other.
Following the wiki, I set up the server. Now I'm trying to set up the client.
Here is /etc/openldap/slapd.conf

#
# See slapd.conf(5) for details on configuration options.
# This file should NOT be world readable.
#
include		/etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include         /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include         /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
include         /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema

# Define global ACLs to disable default read access.

# Do not enable referrals until AFTER you have a working directory
# service AND an understanding of referrals.
#referral	ldap://root.openldap.org

pidfile		/run/openldap/slapd.pid
argsfile	/run/openldap/slapd.args

# Load dynamic backend modules:
# modulepath	/usr/lib/openldap
# moduleload	back_mdb.la
# moduleload	back_ldap.la

# Sample security restrictions
#	Require integrity protection (prevent hijacking)
#	Require 112-bit (3DES or better) encryption for updates
#	Require 63-bit encryption for simple bind
# security ssf=1 update_ssf=112 simple_bind=64

# Sample access control policy:
#	Root DSE: allow anyone to read it
#	Subschema (sub)entry DSE: allow anyone to read it
#	Other DSEs:
#		Allow self write access
#		Allow authenticated users read access
#		Allow anonymous users to authenticate
#	Directives needed to implement policy:
# access to dn.base="" by * read
# access to dn.base="cn=Subschema" by * read
# access to *
#	by self write
#	by users read
#	by anonymous auth
#
# if no access controls are present, the default policy
# allows anyone and everyone to read anything but restricts
# updates to rootdn.  (e.g., "access to * by * read")
#
# rootdn can always read and write EVERYTHING!

database	mdb
maxsize		1073741824
suffix		"dc=clubinfo,dc=com"
rootdn		"cn=admin,dc=clubinfo,dc=com"
# Cleartext passwords, especially for the rootdn, should
# be avoid.  See slappasswd(8) and slapd.conf(5) for details.
# Use of strong authentication encouraged.
# The database directory MUST exist prior to running slapd AND 
# should only be accessible by the slapd and slap tools.
# Mode 700 recommended.
directory	/var/lib/openldap/openldap-data
# Indices to maintain
index	objectClass	eq
rootpw    {SSHA}dInwm53S0DflAtBGsqFNWjO6/54605eW

index   uid             pres,eq
index   mail            pres,sub,eq
index   cn              pres,sub,eq
index   sn              pres,sub,eq
index   dc              eq

I added an user with an LDIF file, it seems to work fine.

So here is /etc/openldap/openldap.conf on the client

#
# LDAP Defaults
#

# See ldap.conf(5) for details
# This file should be world readable but not world writable.

BASE	dc=clubinfo,dc=com
URI	ldap://192.168.1.10

#SIZELIMIT	12
#TIMELIMIT	15
#DEREF		never

(ip address of the server is 192.168.1.10 and client 192.168.1.11)
So when I try to run ldapsearch on the client, I get this beautiful error:

ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)

note I didn't reboot.
There's no firewall on any of the guests, slapd is active and running on the server, and I can ldapsearch on the server with no problem at all.
Any ideas?

(even after rebooting the client it doesn't work)
