tftp server running on multiple ethernet interfaces

[mhlx]

I have set up my linux box to be a tftp server. One card on the public network, one card on the private network. It used to work fine until the network configuration on the public ethernet interface changed from DHCP to static. The tftp server stopped responding to the tftp read request on the private ethernet interface card. However tftp server would respond to tftp request on the public network card.

Nothing else has changed. The tftp under /etc/xinetd.d remains same.

service tftp
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -c -s /tftpboot
disable = no
}


I am really puzzled at what made the tftp server only runs on one of the ethernet interfaces. Thanks much for your advice in advance.

Any firewall rules running? Sounds like the requests are being blocked. Can you telnet to yourself on the address of the card not working?
