I don't understand your problem.  What are the connections that don't
work and what are those that do?

Here, we have TCP/IP over many different systems (2 Netware servers,
about 60 PC workstations, one FreeBSD i486 (our primary nameserver),
one NetBSD i486 (secondary nameserver) two Sun 3/60 running NetBSD 1.2
beta, and four IBM Risc/6000 running AIX, distributed among four
different subnets with no problems.

Perhaps, there is some configuration fault in nameserver resolution
in your NetBSD setup.
