Hello,

I came a little bit closer to understand the problem.
But still I cannot find a proper solution for it.

Here is a syslog excerpt from the FAISERVER describing a successfull
mount from a client (same setup, same cables, switch etc.):

So maybe it is a TFTP problem after all? I also tried the suggested
tftp-hpa with the same outcome.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
