I have reinstalled NIS and it works fine since employing the solution that worked for me.

I was just working on a client laptop with same symptoms. Someone set up static IP so where ever he connected, the router would reject it.

They told us they could not save the files from the hard drive without taking out the internal hard drive disk - which they claimed they were not authorized to do - since they should send the hard drive back to Dell.
