[syslinux] tftp trouble

I am trying to tftp from a cisco router on my lan, but it is not
working.  All I see are these errors in the log.  I can "tftp
localhost" without a problem as well.  Any suggestions on what I can
check next?  I don't see too much troubleshooting available search via
google.

Thanks.
