We just increased redboot's tftp timeout value in the current CVS update.
Try updating.

That's interesting. If anyone knows a reason for this, please let us know.

Additionally, if someone wants to show me (quite Windows ignorant and proud 
of it) how to test this on Windows (I have Windows/ME and Windows/98 available),
I'll test it myself.

BOOTP and TFTP servers from the 3COM site.
The name of the executable to download is:

  ftp://ftp.3com.com/pub/utilbin/win16/nbrowiru.exe

Hopefully still there. I downloaded this ages ago. I used it on Windows NT.
They are 16 bits applications, but seems to work ok under NT. Have not
tested under Wik 2k.

This has now been fixed.  It seems that [at least the 3Com] server 
was very persnickity about the TFTP file requests and it just ignored
ones that it didn't like (but Linux servers were quite happy with).

The changes should show up in anonCVS soon.  If anyone wants them *now*
just ask (they're fairly minor).

   I haven't been able to use Redboot to tftp from a few different servers 
under Windows OS's.  However, I have no problems using Redbbot to tftp from 
a unix machine.

[ECOS] TFTP and RedBoot

[Trenton D. Adams]

Searched the archives, couldn't find anything.
 
I'm running Windows 2000 Professional and cygwin.  I have the freeware
3COM TFTP server up and running as a service.  I've tested it using
"tftp" under cygwin, and it works fine.  My failed output is below,
anyone have any ideas?
 
RedBoot> load -v -h 172.16.1.9 -m tftp -b 0x20000 redrom.bin
Can't load 'redrom.bin': operation timed out
RedBoot> load redrom.bin -v -h 172.16.1.9 -m tftp -b 0x20000

Note my successful ping.

I also have the packet timeout set to 15 which is the maximum on the
Windows TFTP server.
