Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Is your firewall active? have you opened port 69

Are you running the tftpd service manually, and inside xinetd? Both trying to bind to the same port.. :(

Please check/post the output of:

If you see tftpd 5:on and xinetd based services tftpd: on then your in strife, disable one!

thank you....

My system firewall disabled. and checking "chkconfig --list"

I don't see tftpd 5.

tftp active in xinetd.

"/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart" then "tftp localhost" tested

occur a message " transfer time out "

I just took your config on face value.. but it could be off a bit, try this:

Then verify perms:
Then restart:
Now, test that its running:
Create a test-file:
Attempt to grab it:
Then try using IP:
How does that go?

Thank you for help....!!!!!

You are very kind.....!!!!!

Connect succeed the tftp server.........

but tftpboot client doesn't download bootfiles. sorry....Could you tell me another idea...!!!

Thank you....mate.....

I solved problem........thank you....

God bless you...!!!

Its an Australian thing, mate, we do it all the time!

So, what was the problem? More importantly, how did you fix it?

service tftp
{
protocol = udp
socket_type = dgram
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s /tftpboot
disable = no
}

I use this config. I mistake pxelinux.0 file. file is not exist.

sorry...mate

God bless you...

I had done travel in West Australia 3 years ago.

I will compose nfs server.
