Just to give you some hope, I'm using Pumpkin on my XP laptop. I never have a single problem with it.
I don't really know what to suggest, but feel free to e-mail me direct if you would like to compare any specific setings you may suspect. Mine's been on that long that I don't really remember if I had to change anything initially. I know mines fairly open as far as security goes. Does a 'netstat -a' show tftp as listening, or is it not getting that far?
