   I did check out my tftp server configurations carefully after
read your reply.
1. I am running Fedora Core 4 on my PC and installed
tftp-server-0.40-6.i386.rpm. I did check out it by typing 'rpm -q
tftp-server'.
2. I turned on tftp service and turned off iptables service, and
configured no firewall.
3. I restarted xinetd successfully by typing 'service xinted restart'.
4. After typing 'netstat -a|grep tftp' I could see the output 'udp 0 0
*:tftp *:*'.
5. The /tftpboot directory's permission was 'drwxr-xr-x'.
6. I could tftp zImage successfully from another PC running Win XP over 
the Ethernet but still timed out from my board.
   In a word, I think I should revise the tftpboot relevant codes to 
prolong the time before time out. But I don't the exact file(location).
