Check the securenets file on the server, to see if you are allowed to use NIS. Also check that the broadcast address of the ethernet interface is correct and the same as on the server. You can do this with plain "ifconfig" on Linux and "ifconfig -a" on the Solaris box. If nessecary, adjust /etc/init.d/network.
