trying to boot a pxe client but it gives me this error:
PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout


Your tftp server seems not to be running.
Make sure you have a tftp server installed at all, then
check that in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp a line is saying
"disabled=no" (if using
xinetd) or that tftp appears in /etc/inetd.conf.
If this doesn't help (don't forget to restart
xinetd/inetd after changing
configuration), please post the result of entering
netstat -l -n -p | grep 69



On port 69, a tftp daemon seems to be running quite fine, so that's not the problem.
Are you sure that this TFTP open timeout is not due to another misconfiguration?
(e.g. setting the next-server option in dhcpd.conf unappropriately or at all -
most people don't need it; specifying a filename that can not be tftp-retrieved)


Find out which filename dhcpd sends out (does the client tell you? Else look
into dhcpd.conf) and try something like (on the tftp server computer)
 cd /tmp
 tftp localhost
 get /your-filename-here
 quit

If it shows some error, then this could be it.
Be sure to check that the client does get the DHCP answer from your
server, not from any other DHCP server possibly around your place!
