I can only assume that you have other machines on your network, that can use this NIS server without issue and that you don't have any host.deny or selinux action happening on your NIS server that would stop this machine from connecting to it.

Try this:
On your AIX machine.... As root

Step 1:

smit
System Storage Management (Physical & Logical Storage)
File System
Add / Change / Show / Delete File Systems
Network File System (NFS)
Network Information SErvice (NIS)
Configure / Modify NIS
Change NIS Domain NAme of this Host
Set the following options and press Enter
add YOURNISDOMAIN


Enter (DO)


* YOURNISDOMAIN - From your NIS Server run this command to find the name: nisdomainname
It is case senitive



Step 2:
Still as root
smit

Communications Applications and Services
NFS
Network Information Service (NIS)
Configure / Modify NIS
Configure this Host as a NIS Client


Enter the FQDN of your NIS Server ie. myNISServer.mynetwork.com


Enter (DO)


Step 3:


Start a new SSH or telnet connection to your AIX machine
log in as one of your users
