Ok let's add to the weirdness.  My NIS Master has two NIC's.

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:8B:8F:A9:30
          inet addr:136.203.75.118  Bcast:136.203.75.255
Mask:255.255.255.0
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:04:76:F5:6C:FF
          inet addr:192.168.0.200  Bcast:192.168.0.255
Mask:255.255.255.0

On my 192 client (referencing subnet #) I get this error running
yppasswd:

[username at 192client username]$ yppasswd
yppasswd: yppasswdd not running on NIS master host
("rpdssvr.ca.boeing.com").

If I attempt to telnet to the port indicated in the earlier message:

On my 136 client, yppasswd works.

[username at 136client username]$ yppasswd
Changing NIS account information for trw3016 on rpdssvr.ca.boeing.com.
Please enter old password:
Sorry.

Any ideas?  I'm REALLY confused now.
