Works for me (F7 client, Centos 5 server).

What about firewall on _client_?

What does tcpdump port 69 show on _client_ when you try tftp'ing?

I get:

server tcpdump port 69:

14:33:28.366478 IP mk.crc.dk.34258 > server1.crc.dk.tftp:  20 RRQ
"test.dat" netascii

client tcpdump port 69:
14:33:28.366884 IP mk.crc.dk.34258 > server1.crc.dk.tftp:  20 RRQ
"test.dat" netascii
