Already done. I have a file in /etc/ that sets the domain name

I have used tcpdump and I see my machine sends a request to the Yp 
server, and I never get any answer. All other machines around (OpenBSD, 
Debian..) work fine and the YP server is set to the default ports.

tcpdump says :

12:39:43.741551 IP 192.168.70.235.0x0 > apollon.laga.sunrpc: 136 call 
portmapper .2

192.168.70.235 = my ip
apollon.laga.sunrpc = YP server

When I start ypbind a packet goes out to the YP server on the network, 
and I never get an answer...

We see a mount request from my IP on the YP side but tcpdump shows I am 
not getting any answer from the YP server.

And the most annoying is the OpenBSD next to this machine with the very 
same config does connect to the YP server :(
