Looks okay from here. Your diagnostic tools are
Log files in /var/logs. The tftp server mentions little problems like
files not found. So to does xinetd complain if it finds a problem
lsof (or netstat) to tell you whether something's listening:
[root@xxxxxx root]# lsof -c x -a -i
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
xinetd 913 root 5u IPv4 1759 TCP *:pop3 (LISTEN)
xinetd 913 root 6u IPv4 1760 TCP *:rsync (LISTEN)
xinetd 913 root 7u IPv4 1761 UDP *:tftp
xinetd 913 root 9u IPv4 1762 TCP *:time (LISTEN)
[root@xxxxxx root]#
The tftp client which _may_ have more intelligence than your board:
# 192.168.0.99 does not exist here:
Numbat:~# tftp 192.168.0.99
tftp> get fred
Transfer timed out.
tftp> quit
# 192.168.1.1 exists, but there's no tftp server there
Numbat:~# tftp 192.168.1.1
tftp> get fred
Transfer timed out.
# Magpie is my working server
tftp> Numbat:~# tftp magpie
tftp> get fred
Error code 1: File not found
tftp> Numbat:~# logout
Connection to Numbat closed.
summer@xxxxxx:~$
tcpdump which is excellent for snooping traffic on your LAN.
