Not sure if this might help or apply but do you have the domain's listed in your /etc/hosts file ? If your trying to connect to any computer by name and not IP address, you'll want to add those hosts to that file.

Hi,
I had tried but still same problem,

HELP

So your certain all the necessary services are running on the Server end ? Can this machine see the server at all ? It seems to fail when attempting to bind to the server in this case.

Make sure you properly configure your /etc/nsswitch.conf => see the man page for nsswitch.conf. I recently connected my RH7.3 client to a NIS domain running on Slackware 8.1. The nsswitch file on Redhat was trying to use 'nisplus', so I changed these entries to use nis. Reply if you want me to post example..
