NIS error

[zkab]

OS: Ubuntu 8.04
Apcupsd: 3.14.2 (installed with Synaptic)
Model/UPS cable: pls check below

I have one desktop computer and one server and they are connected to its
own USB APC UPS.
Apcupsd are installed and configured on both computers, apcaccess gives
me correct information about their UPS.
On the desktop computer GapcMon is installed and it gives me correct
information about localhost but when I add a new monitor and give the
ip-address for my server (pref tab in GapcMon) an error message is
diplayed in GapcMon status window:

NISERR unknown@ip-address
NIS network connection not responding!

What is wrong - I had the impression (after reading the docs) that I
could get UPS-information with GapcMon from any LAN-computer that run
Apcupsd.

Check that if NISIP is specified in apcupsd.conf it is set to 0.0.0.0 or
the IP address of an external network interface (i.e. *not* 127.0.0.1). On
the gapcmon side, ensure you are using this IP address.
