One other quirck I notice on workstation2 is if I say ping yahoo, I get some error of a missing gateway or some such... I have defaultrouter set the same on both machines.
Are both workstations on the same subnet? Also check your netstat -nr output on both.
If installed, you can use traceroute from each workstation to see how they get to a particular IP - and where the problem may be on the second workstation.

As far as NIS, check to see if your NIS master is using netgroups - there may be a problem there.
