How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  NIS can not bind to a server, while when the firewall is down
(/etc/init.d/iptables stop) it can bind to the server

maybe it's as designed, but then tell something about it in the help-files
during install

I've been successful at this before. Make sure that you specify an NIS 
server (don't use broadcast) and try accepting "--state ESTABLISHED" packets.
closing as NOTABUG.
