Ok. I read that page. It's a little odd. They tell you to install the xinetd packages, but then they don't set up atftpd to use them. If you do that, then you don't need to edit /etc/rc.local at all. You can run (as root or through sudo) the command "lsof -i udp:69" to see what, if anything, has udp port 69 open. >> I'd recommend verifying that you can download the mvpmc software with >> a tftp client running on another system before trying to get it >> working on the MVP itself. > > Sounds like a good idea but I am not sure how to do this.

Just run atftp on the command line and see if you can get the dongle file. You can consult the atftp documentation for the particulars of how to use it. > I am new at this mailing list type forum.
