TFTP boot problems in Gusty AMD64

Hi,

I run ltsp in a bussiness environment. I have LTSP installed (Ubuntu Feisty)
in a i386 (server & client) environment. Now I am setting up a new server
that is AMD64 but the thin clients are i386.
I set up two static interfaces one 192.168.1.x for the lan side and one
192.168.0.1 for the LTSP side.

I installed LTSP server sudo apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone
openssh-server
then I built the environment sudo ltsp-build-client --arch i386. Then I
updated the kernels sudo ltsp-update-kernels and then rebooted.

When I try to connect from the i386 client (anyone), the client gets its
address from dhcp (and is confirmed in Syslog) but TFTP just hangs. I get
TFTP........ and it just times out. Any ideas on what is wrong?
I also tried wiping  the contents of /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp and trying the
sudo ltsp-update-kernels command again with the same results. Below is my
dhcpd.conf

#
# Default LTSP dhcpd.conf config file.
#

authoritative;

subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
    range 192.168.0.20 192.168.0.250;
    option domain-name "example.com";
    option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
    option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
    option routers 192.168.0.1;
#    next-server 192.168.0.254;
#    get-lease-hostnames true;
    option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
    option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386";
    if substring( option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9 ) = "PXEClient" {
        filename "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0";
    } else {
        filename "/ltsp/i386/nbi.img";
    }
}

Thank you for any assistance.

Regards,

Paul Thompson
