Has anyone had difficulty getting a SGI yp client
to work with a Sun yp master when a router is involved
on the subnet?  

We have no problems with Sun yp clients working in the
same subnet. However, I can not get ypbind running on a SGI
machine to connect to a ypserver on the subnet when a router
is involved.  

Any suggestions?  After countless hours wasted, I have tried
everything I can think of.  Somehow, I suspect it is the router
as on another, isolated network of SGI and Suns, I have had no
difficulty with Iris yp clients running with Sun ypservers.
