TFTP on SBL2e?

NB Guys:

I am trying to get TFTP application file downloads working on the 5234 and SBL2e. I've configured the monitor (in setup) on both an SBL2e, and on a 5234 to look for a particular server TFTP address and the appropriate (platform-dependent) application file for each to download.

On the PC end, I think I've setup NBTFTP.exe to serve My5234App_APP.s19 files from a 5234 directory and MySBL2eApp_APP.s19 from a SBL2e directory. I've tried checking the box to enable writes from a specified directory, although that step does not seem to be required.

On the 5234, in the monitor, if I type "nfla" I can sometimes get the application to download, although it is very error prone and often needs a few retries by issuing the "nfla" command several times. Any idea why I seem to be getting these retries, errors and unsuccessful downloads? (This happens w/ my virus checker and firewall off too.)

On the SBL2e, in the monitior, in "setup" I can configure the TFTP address and file to look for, buit there does not seem to be a "nfla" command that can trigger the download like there is on the 5234. If not, how do I start the download?

Here's a screen shot of the NBTFTP.exe settings, and of SBL2e monitor commands (shown after typing "help"), as well as the setup configuration after specifying the TFTP address and file. What am I missing?

Thanks

The SBL2E Monitor does not support TFTP.
the configuration area is there because we use the same configuration record on all
network platforms.

As for your TFTP problems with the MOD5234, submit a support request, please include
What is the MOD5234 plugged into switch or hub?
MOD5234 revision number,
Size of the App you are trying to download.
