SUSE 9 and 10 NIS clients with RedHat 8.0 NIS server not working

SUSE 9 and 10 NIS clients with RedHat 8.0 NIS server not working
We have a RedHat 8.0 NIS master, with a RedHat 8.0 NIS Slave.
We also have a small number of SUSE 9.1 and SUSE 10 machines here for evaluation.
However, no matter what i do, the SUSE machines will not talk to the NIS Servers.
If i broadcast for NIS Servers for the specified NIS domain, it picks them up perfectly, but if i then say "OK, use these servers", the NIS client just times out, as if the NIS Servers don't exist any more. They do exist though, because the rest of the network is using them perfectly.
I thought that SUSE could be using NIS+ instead of NIS, but it's not labelled as NIS+, so i'm not sure if this is the case.
Does anyone have any ideas??
Thanks in advance

ypwhich - return name of NIS server or map master SYNOPSIS
ypwhich [-d domain] [ [-t] -m [mname] | [-Vn] hostname] ypwhich -x DESCRIPTION
ypwhich returns the name of the NIS server that supplies the NIS name services to a NIS client, or which is the master for a map. If invoked without arguments, it gives the NIS server for the local machine. If hostname is specified, that machine is queried to find out which NIS master it is using. Refer to ypfiles(4) for an overview of the NIS name services. OPTIONS
-d domain Use domain instead of the default domain. -t This option inhibits map nickname translation. -m mname Find the master NIS server for a map. No hostname can be specified with -m. mname can be a mapname, or a nickname for a map. When mname is omitted, produce a list of available maps. -x Display the map nickname translation table. -Vn Version of ypbind, V3 is default. ATTRIBUTES
