Norm,

The important message is:   "tftp unreachable".

This either indicates that tftpd is NOT listening on port 69,
or you have iptables turned on, getting in the way.

First of all, to see if tftp is listening, do this:

    netstat -anp | grep ":69 "

If it doesn't show something like this:

  udp  0  0 0.0.0.0:69  0.0.0.0:*  983/xinetd          

then tftp isn't configured to run.  Check the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
file and make sure it doesn't say 'disable = yes'.  if it does,
then change it to 'no', and restart xinetd.

On the other hand, if it does show a line like that above, then
you probably have a rule in iptables that is blocking remote
access.

To see if that is the case, do this:

   iptables -L

What you want to see is something like this:

   Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
   target     prot opt source               destination         

   Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
   target     prot opt source               destination         

   Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
   target     prot opt source               destination         


That shows that all packets are accepted.
If you get an error, then iptables isn't configured, so
thats not a problem.  But, if you see 'REJECT' entries,
then iptables is getting in the way.
To turn off iptables, do this:

   service iptables off

That will turn it off temporarily.  On Mandrake, I don't
know how to turn it off permenantly.

Anyway,

Give that a try.
