changing NIS servers

Ok, I need to change a Tru64(4.0f patch kit 2) box here to a different NIS
server. Though I am having trouble getting to to work now that I switched
it over.

What I did:
Ran nissetup, did a remove configuration.
Rebooted
Ran nissetup again, and added the new information for the new server.

Now, when I cd to an automounted directory, one that comes from the NIS
info, it takes about one minute and then echo's the error
-
NFS2 server smokestack not responding still trying
NFS2 server smokestack ok
-

I am on machine smokestack, and it is not the server. I am wondering why it
says NFS2, everything here is really setup as NFS3. That I know of anyways.

Is there a better way to "unconfigure" a machine from an NIS setup, and
then to reconfigure it to a new server? Solaris has the great command
"sysunconfig" which blasts all of its network settings, but I don't see
anything like that for Tru64 or Digital Unix.

Both servers that this machine has connected to are NIS+ Solaris 2.7 server
running in NIS compat mode.

Any ideas?

Thanks much
