   And also I've now been able to get the test file from the NSA221's tftp   
   service.  So now we have that both the NSA221's tftp service and the   
   Ubuntu client are working, leaving the problem just with the Ubuntu 22   
   service.   
      
   However, I wish I could work out what has changed since this morning.
