I am having trouble with set-up of tftp server.

I am using the latest ubuntu. I can get and put a file when using tftp localhost.  If I try to get a file from a windows 10 
machine, it says " connect request failed"  and yet on my linux box, tail /varlog/syslog is :

Aug 28 22:12:04 adrian-TravelMate-6293 in.tftpd[25937]: connect from 192.168.20.111 (192.168.20.111)
Aug 28 22:12:04 adrian-TravelMate-6293 tftpd[25938]: tftpd: trying to get file: abc.txt
Aug 28 22:12:04 adrian-TravelMate-6293 tftpd[25938]: tftpd: serving file from /srv/tftp

I am trying ultimately install an iso file onto a sun box, thus:

{0} ok boot net:rarp - install
Boot device: /pci at 7c0/pci at 0/network at 4:rarp  File and args: - install
100 Mbps full duplex  Link up
Requesting Internet Address for 0:14:4f:95:44:a8
Timed out waiting for TFTP reply
Timed out waiting for TFTP reply

So it would appear that the tftp server is not working for machines other than localhost.

And the obvious answer is ..........
