Anselm,

Thank you again for your reply

Yes they are in a single hub. The adresses are
198.162.0.1-2-3 and the mask is 255.255.255.0

> Can you tftp-get the file from the win machine?

No, I can't tftp-get the file from the win machine.
The server gives me the same message about the user
nobody. I tried to assign the user nobody to the root
group to no avail.

I can't hook the monitor to the client now since it is
in another room. I'll try later.

At the step (error message) before this one I had the
user root (instead of tftp) set in the
/etc/xinetd.d/tftp. The message I had from Etherboot
was that it couldn't find the file
/tftpboot/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.19-lts-1 and the
/var/log/messages showed this:

Mar  8 16:01:56 k7s5a dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from
00:07:95:fd:44:24 via eth0
Mar  8 16:01:56 k7s5a dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.0.3
to 00:07:95:fd:44:24 via eth0
Mar  8 16:01:56 k7s5a dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for
192.168.0.3 (192.168.0.2) from 00:07:95:fd:44:24 via
eth0
Mar  8 16:01:56 k7s5a dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.0.3 to
00:07:95:fd:44:24 via eth0

This lines were repeated indefinitely. Looks like now
the client can connect to the tftpd but the user thing
is hanging it.
