OK, I do not like it. It most probably is the cause for why tftp does
not (fully?) work.
You wrote that you could tftp-get the kernel from the server. You used
"tftp localhost", not "tftp 192.168.0.2", did you? What happens on the
.0.2 address (or whatever the local ip of the linux server is) when
downloading back on the linux-server itself?
Sure that iptables is disabled, what does "iptables -L -n" say?

Fine, they exist.

What permissions are set on the directories /tftpboot and
/tftpboot/lts; what permissions are on the kernel file?

That means that the client gets its address and sends some package (so
that it shows up in the Adress Resolution Cache). That makes it quite
sure to be a tftp problem.

Not for now. We have a complete LTSP network running without ypbind.
It could be reasonable or even necessary for local-apps and
user-logins and such, but it could be that you do not have to have it
for a numbercracker computer cause nobody wants to log in there.

Read the yp Docs, www.tldp.org (Howtos there) could be helpful.
