Hi, Try this: During RedHat 7.2 installation, choose "Firewall Configuration" as "No Firewall" Rationale: Initially I had chosen "Medium" for Firewall Configuration. In the Red Hat documentation, I read that, in this case your firewall will not allow access to certain resources on your system. By default, access to these resources are not allowed- · Ports lower than 1023 - the standard reserved ports, used by most system services, such as FTP, SSH, telnet and HTTP {Note: TFTP uses port 69} · The NFS server port (2049) So, I finally decided to do a fresh installation choosing "No Firewall" I am sure then your TFTP server will work as desired. -Ranjeeta -----Original Message----- From: Rayashish@aol.com [mailto:Rayashish@aol.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2002 11:52 AM To: ixp1200@CS.Princeton.EDU Subject: Re: [ixp1200] (no subject) no, it is workstation installation. --Ashish
