This sorta crosses over to the HP-700 list, but the question is sorta a 
basic one, so I'll post it here.  I'm attempting to netboot an Hp PA-712/80, 
and have gotten as far as tftpd, which keeps kerplonking out on me.  First 
off, The NETBSD machine that is hosting this tftpd can tftp and get the 
kernel file locally with no problems.  However, remote machines attempting 
to access the tftpd get a timed out problem when trying to get the file.  
The network layout the machine is in uses NAT; here is a quick layout:

ADSL modem -> Linksys Etherfast router -> SMC superstack switch -> out to 
each machine.

The hosting machine has been set to the DMZ host in the router firmware 
(assuming that maybe the router was dropping the tftp router requests since 
it uses tftp for updates, even though that is disabled), in addition to 
portmapping ports 60-80 (a good coverage of 69 =]) to that machine.  I still 
get a connection timed out.  There is no filtering going on and no access 
lists are preventing any access.  inetd -dl isn't being much of a help, just 
showing the connect from the local machine and the successful grab of the 
file.  Any other machine doesn't even show a connection.  Any hints as to 
why this may be an issue?  Even the PA-RISC that is one port away from the 
hosting machine on the switch doesn't show a tftpd connection.  It hooks up 
with bootpd fine, gets an ip address fine, etc.  It just never attempts to 
grab the kernel from tftpd.


What am I missing?
