I am trying to configure a tftp server and am having difficulty connecting to it from a tftp client vi /etc/xinetd.d/tftp service tftp { socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = root server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd server_args = -s /tftpboot disable = no per_source = 11 cps = 100 2 flags = IPv4 log_type = FILE /var/log/tftp.log } >From client tftp -v 203.89.001.001 -c get cfg000b82024216 Connected to 203.89.001.001 (203.89.001.001), port 69 getting from 203.89.001.001:cfg000b82024216 to cfg000b82024216 [netascii] Transfer timed out. The server is running open vpn and the client is connected to it. I can successfully connect using tftp over openvpn so it's not a permissions issue. tftp -v 10.8.0.1 -c get cfg000b82024216 Connected to 10.8.0.1 (10.8.0.1), port 69 getting from 10.8.0.1:cfg000b82024216 to cfg000b82024216 [netascii] Received 890 bytes in 4.4 seconds [1611 bit/s] If I add the bind directive then I still can't connect over the public ip (and I can no longer connect over the vpn either): bind = 203.89.001.001 If I stop the openvpn service I still cannot connect over the public ip address. If I flush the firewall rules I still cannot connect over the public ip address. Any help appreciated Cameron ifconfig eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:18:71:8C:32:FF inet addr:203.89.001.001 Bcast:203.89.001.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe88::208:88ff:fe8c:32ff/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:34918988 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:34021478 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1462983820 (1.3 GiB) TX bytes:1275513509 (1.1 GiB) Interrupt:193 eth1:1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:18:71:8C:32:FF inet addr:203.89.001.007 Bcast:203.89.001.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:193 eth1:2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:18:71:8C:32:FF inet addr:203.89.001.008 Bcast:203.89.001.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:193 eth1:3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:18:71:8C:32:FF inet addr:203.89.001.009 Bcast:203.89.001.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:193 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:7470203 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:7470203 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1010165066 (963.3 MiB) TX bytes:1010165066 (963.3 MiB) tun0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 inet addr:10.8.0.1 P-t-P:10.8.0.2 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
