That will explain why it didn't work from microblaze! :)  You should try 
ther same for your regular ftp service as well.

tftp is generally disabled by default - it's very insecure, never run it 
outside a trusted firewall zone.

You said you run Manrake 9.1 - I'm a RedHat user myself, so I expect the 
configuration will be different.  Anyway, here's how I've configured it 
on my box - note that I'm not a network admin - check the correctness of 
this for yourself before doing it!

Make sure you have the tftpd executable somewhere (on my machine it's 
/usr/sbin/in.tftpd), then place the attached file (tftp) in your 
/etc/xinetd.d directory (or perhaps just edit the one that's already 
there).

Finally, you need to restart network services

$ cd /etc/init.d
$ ./xinetd restart

All of this must be done as root, of course.

A google search for mandrake tftp server find plenty of hits.
