>Description:

Hi,
I have a freebsd client that worked perfectly up until I moved it to one of our labs which is a different VLAN (layer 3) I'm able to ping the NIS master which sits outside the VLAN. but I the machine can't find it when I do ypwhich. we block broadcast so how can I manually configure it to be able to use the NIs. no other network problems.
Thanks, Elad  btw, I checked the rc.conf and it looks good. it worked before!

State-Changed-Why:  
Configuration issues should be addressed to the freebsd-questions 
mailing list.  This is almost certaintly no a bug, NIS is not designed 
to work outside a single broadcast network and can no be expected to 
work in across IP routers without significant configuraition changes.
