Thanks, The issue was the Firewall. I had that on my list, but it was the last thing I checked because I configured NIS when I ran the install, thus I assumed the firewall would be set correctly for NIS. Guess I was wrong. Perhaps this is am install bug? BTW - I had already checked the SELinux config. -Brooke > -----Original Message----- > From: Erwin J.
