I was more thinking about something like hosts_access(5).

1. What IS the server?

2. look at ypserv's debug information (on NetBSD, run ypserv as "ypserv -l";
   it's output would be logged with LOG_DAEMON / LOG_ERR,LOG_WARNING,LOG_INFO

If ypserv does not answer, there must be some reason for it, and it should
be able to tell you.

3. show us the network configurations of the server and  your box.
(ifconfig -an, netstat -rn at least)
