Dear admins,

Please read my little story first.  We had one 800 G40 server and 700/55 6
servers. And three of 700/55 servers were using yp from 800/G40 (which is
fully patched), and the other three were standalone.  Yesterday i was out
for one whole day and this morning, i found out that three servers which
were not using yp (NIS) from 800/G40 couldn't reach from any others servers. 
But one thing suprise me is, one of those server can ping to gateway 
printer which is parallely connected.  And i checked the /etc/hosts, 
/etc/resolv.conf and all those are fine.  

here is a small diagram which might make you understand more.

                |    Standalone servers    |
                 \                        /                  to main router
   ---------------------------------------------------------------/
  |         |        |        \        /        |        \        /
800/G40  700/55   700/55        700/33       printer       700/55
       {(yp) OK} Can ping   can ping to               using yp from 800/g40
                 only to    800/G40 with                and doing fine
                 printer.   80% packets loss

All of them are HP-UX 7.04 and 7.03 and I do not see any trace of being 
hacked.  But who knows what happened?  Can any one tell me?

If there is nothing to solve, I am (have to) format and reinstall the 
whole things.  So, I need to know where can i get the list of patches 
(especially for security) for 700s.

Thanks.

P.S.  If anyone one summery, i will summerized it.  But Please answer 
urgently since i don't want my server to be down for more then 3 days.

REgards,
