Hello.  I've been having some problems getting my new FreeBSD 4.6-stable 
server to accept tftp connections from our router.  When I try to connect 
into the server from the router, I get a message on the cisco router saying 
"TFTP: error code 1 received - File not found".  On the FreeBSD server I 
get the following messages in /var/log/messages:

Aug 20 15:27:16 ignatius /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP x.x.x.4:53 
from x.x.x.4:1037
Aug 20 15:27:16 ignatius /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP x.x.x.4:53 
from x.x.x.4:1038
Aug 20 15:27:16 ignatius /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP x.x.x.4:53 
from x.x.x.4:1039
Aug 20 15:27:16 ignatius /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP x.x.x.4:53 
from x.x.x.4:1040

It is odd that the ip address of the router isn't listed at all... The ip 
address of the FreeBSD server is listed as the source and destination of 
the attempt.  I'm not running a nameserver on this machine and the correct 
nameserver for the network is listed in the /etc/resolv.conf file.   Why 
would it be sending a domain request to itself when it knows it's not a 
nameserver?




Does anyone know what might be wrong?  I enabled the tftp line in 
/etc/inetd.conf and set it to log (which it hasn't done yet):

tftp    dgram   udp     wait    root    /usr/libexec/tftpd      tftpd -l -s /usr/tftpboot 

I haven't setup ipfilters yet and the hosts.allow is still
set to accept traffic from all hosts.

thanks
Jess
