Unable to start TFTP server on Windows Vista.

Im having problems using the TFTP server on windows vista (Business 32bit). When i try to start the service, it times out and doesnt start. Either from services, or the TFTP gui, the result is the same.

Ive had this problem when i evaluated engineers toolset, and now running the licensed version. Running windows XP everything works fine, but on Vista i have no luck.

Any ideas?

Opening the TFTP Server does not automatically start the server service. To ensure the server is started, click File > Configure and review the Status section of the General tab.

Thats sort of my problem, when i try to do what you say nothing happens. It times out and never start. Same thing happens when i try to start the service from service mmc snapin.

If the DNS service is unable to resolve the signed .net runtime components of the following tools you may experience delayed start times, could this be the case? Are you using a mapped drive as a destination location?

The computers are running without DNS.

I tried using a local drive, and a mapped network drive when starting TFTP server. The result is the same either way.
