>From everything I've read, it seems it's possible the machine trying to pxeboot might not be contacting the right box for tftp. Is your tftp server also your DHCP server? The pxeboot box will contact the dhcp server to tftp the file down provided the DHCP server has provided the pxelinux.0 file in the DHCP offer/ack. (maybe theres a DHCP option you could use to direct the client to a different tftp server, but in my setup I just let my dhcp server also handle tftp)
Also -- make sure /etc/hosts.allow and hosts.deny doesn't inhibit anything when tftp is called from inetd w/ tcpd (tcp wrappers) I also find it helpful when you sniff with ethereal and watch for the TFTP read request and any negative responses from the TFTP server. If you only see a TFTP read request and no response or an ICMP port unreachable, then even though your tftp seems to work w/ Geert's local tests below, it still doesn't work over the network. Might be worthwhile doing Geert's tests w/ two separate boxes to make sure it's really working. Sorry you haven't been able to figure this out. -Eric Malkowski > --fOHHtNG4YXGJ0yqR > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > Content-Disposition: inline > Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > > On Wed, Oct 27, 2004 at 03:13:49PM +0200, Andrea Iacopini wrote: > <snip summary=3D"demonstration of working TFTP server"/> > > > IT Doesn't work again... :( > "IT" is the combination of a server and a client. > Meanwhile you known that the TFTP server works fine. > > >=20 > > A. > >=20 > >=20 > > ----- Original Message -----=20 > > From: "Geert Stappers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: "Andrea Iacopini" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2004 2:44 PM > > Subject: Re: TFTP Timeout > >=20 > >=20 > > > On Wed, Oct 27, 2004 at 02:00:49PM +0200, Andrea Iacopini wrote: > > >> Guys, > > >> my headache with tftp still continue. > <snip/> > > Ooh, it is a top quoter. > When it[1] has shown, that it understands http://learn.to/quote > then it is ready for further education. > > > Geert Stappers > (currently cooling down) > > > [1] some live form > > --fOHHtNG4YXGJ0yqR > Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" > Content-Description: Digital signature > Content-Disposition: inline > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) > > iD8DBQFBf6ySOSINbgwa/7sRArtoAJ4oQ/YrKf0PLJNLQ/zqPigSWwgoqwCfQES5 > EJxlKWKvaX3WI8dkkPkpM8Q= > =Zp7E > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > --fOHHtNG4YXGJ0yqR-- >
