hmm... I hope you aren't too disappointed when i tell you i can't see anything obvious. ;-))
IMHO the only way to find out is to systematically prove one after the other part to not be the culprit. Lets start: which parts are participating in the connection: the two hosts, the network, the DNS (and/or any other name-resolving system). My guess is the latter, because it seems to be some sort of time-out, which causes this.
"ping" should tell us if there are any network problems.
Name resolution could be temporarily switched off and replaced by "/etc/hosts" entries (analogous on Windoze systems). Switch off "WINS" name resolution (better yet switch off the whole "NetBIOS TCP-Helper", TCP works best unhelped by inferior protocol stacks - nobody uses this damn thing anyway) and also disable NetBIOS as far as possible (shut down Workstation and Server services, etc.). Then try again and see if the timeout persists.
It might be helpful to try "nslookup <remote-host>" on the command line first on both sides. Try not only the hosts name but also the hosts IP address, maybe the reverse lookup tables are broken/not well looked after in the DNS server (this happens quite often). You might see the same timeout in one of these tries. Remove the reason and try again, maybe the timeout is gone.
I hope this helps.

yppasswd
yppasswd(1) General Commands Manual yppasswd(1)
NAME
yppasswd - change password in Network Information Service (NIS)
SYNOPSIS
yppasswd [name]
DESCRIPTION
Note
If Enhanced Security is enabled on your system, use the passwd command to change your password, even if NIS is in use.
The yppasswd command lets you change your password in the Network Information Service (NIS) map, a network data base service. Only you or
the superuser can change your NIS password.
When you enter the yppasswd command, the program prompts you for the old password and then for the new password. Note that the passwords
are not displayed on the screen.
Next, the program asks you for the new password again, to verify that you have typed it correctly. If you do not type the passwords cor-
rectly, you will receive an error message after you enter the new password.
Your new NIS password must meet one of the following requirements: It must be a combination of at least six alphanumeric characters, or It
must be a minimum of four characters, with at least one being non-alphanumeric, such as a control sequence.
Note
The passwd command does not change the NIS password. This command only changes the local password file (/etc/passwd), and not the NIS mas-
ter password file.
ERRORS
Your new password does not meet the minimum length requirement. You misspelled your new password or its verification. Your new password
can not be activated. It must be different from your old password and your login name.
FILES
Password file NIS directory
