Assuming I'm seeing the same problem as the original reporter, yes.

What happens during my boot sequence is (in order):
* network manager starts trying to get a dhcp address
* /etc/init.d/nis attempts to start but fails because the network isn't up
* network manager manages to get a DHCP address at the second attempt.
* I start /etc/init.d/nis manually, which works fine since the network is up.

Attempting to start NIS before the network is up doesn't work.
