TFTP seems to have stopped working on my F14 machine.
It appears both server and client are not working.
I have it working on my F15 machine and have tried between the two (with iptables rule) and F14 server and client do not work.
tftp appears to log in but, on transferring a file it just says "Transfer timed out." after a while.
I have reinstalled both client and server. And I am using the same '/etc/xinetd.d/tftp' file on F15 as on F14.
There do not appear to be any logs for TFTP.
AFAICS I am not doing anything wrong or differently.
Help !
Many thanks in advance,

1) In adition to other recommendations - if You use libwrap files /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} , have You something as
in.tftpd: 192.168.202.
in /etc/hosts.allow (192.168.202.* is client network) at server side?
2) what say logs at server side (/var/log/messages)?
3) tftp connection between F14 and F15 works fine for me, no matter which distro is client and which server (just verified). But I was gathered with some weird TFTP clients (mainly PXE), for which was needed some adjustment at Fedora TFTP server. Namely:
- set "/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_no_pmtu_disc" to 1 (e.g. with net.ipv4.ip_no_pmtu_disc = 1 line in "/etc/sysctl.conf" or quickly with echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_no_pmtu_disc )
- disable some tftp extension - in "/etc/xinetd.d/tftp" supply "-r blksize": # server_args = -s /var/lib/tftpboot server_args = -s /var/lib/tftpboot -r blksize
4) wireshark is very good sort of things for debugging.
