I'm sorry for the mixed message here - the problem occurs on the machine running the viewer; I can't run the viewer when NIS is enabled. Even though I have added it to NIS firewall configuration.
VNC server machines can have NIS enabled, and I can 'get in' (again, only when I disable NIS on the viewer end).
