TFTP server doesn't respond


When a clients tries to boot via network (with PXE protocol), it fails with this message

PXE-E11: ARP timeout
PXE-E11: ARP timeout
PXE-E38: TFTP cannot open connection

dhcpd shows that it assigns an IP adddress to the client
Code:
DHCPDISCOVER from 08:00:27:69:73:7a via eth1
DHCPOFFER on 10.0.2.5 to 08:00:27:69:73:7a via eth1
DHCPREQUEST for 10.0.2.5 (10.0.2.1) from 08:00:27:69:73:7a via eth1
DHCPACK on 10.0.2.5 to 08:00:27:69:73:7a via eth1
However xined verbose messages shows nothing. Infact, I ran xinetd -d and online transactions will be appear in the terminal, however at the time that client prints the arp timeouts, I don't see any message in the xinedt log.

dhcpd.conf conatains

Code:
subnet 10.0.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.240 {
  range 10.0.2.2 10.0.2.10;
  allow booting;
  allow bootp;
  next-server 10.0.2.3;
  filename "pxelinux.0";
}
and xinetd.conf contains
Code:
service tftp
{
    socket_type     = dgram
    protocol        = udp
    wait            = yes
    user            = root
    server          = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
    server_args     = -s /var/lib/tftpboot
    disable         = no
    per_source      = 11
    cps         = 100 2
    flags           = IPv4
}
I suspect that firewall blocks the incoming connections because xinetd doesn't print any message. How can I check that firewall is actually blocking or not?

Tftp is like ftp in that you can test with command line locally and then remotely.


"PXE-E38" error indicates that the PXE client was not able to send the TFTP open packet in the first place." https://www.bootix.com/support/probl...onnection.html
