ERROR: The TFTP server will not start

Symptoms

The Kiwi CatTools TFTP server will not start.


Reasons

There are two relatively common problems that can occur to prevent the Kiwi CatTools TFTP server from starting.  The reasons and how to resolve them are as follows:


1) TFTP Server failed to start. Port 69 in use by another TFTP server.

Only one application can listen on a network port at any one time. Some other application is running on the computer and has already started listening on port 69. As this port is the defaultTFTP server port, the chances are high that the other application is or is running a TFTP server.

Resolve

To resolve the issue you need to find out what other application is using port 69 and terminate it, or set the Kiwi CatTools TFTP server to not start automatically.
You should also confirm that you do not have two instances of Kiwi CatTools running at the same time, both wanting to start theTFTP server.


2) Unable to initialize TFTP Server.

This message indicates that the Kiwi CatTools component that provides the TFTP server could not start up. The most common cause of this is that the TFTP COM component is not registered on the system for some reason.

Resolve

Use the Windows Start / Run menu and type:
RegSvr32 kiwitftp.dll.
If there are no other issues, you will get a message that indicates the dll has been registered and everything is fine.

However, the dll often will not register due to an underlying issue in the operating system. The kiwitftp.dll has a dependency on a Microsoft dll called ATL.dll. This is normally present and registered on the system. When it is not, theTFTP server dll cannot register and run.

To resolve this you first need to ensure ATL.dll is present on your system. If it isn't, you need to get one that is appropriate to the operating system version.
Then you use the Windows Start / Run menu and type:
RegSvr32 ATL.dll.
Once this has registered correctly, you can try registering the kiwitftp.dll. Once that registers correctly, the Kiwi CatTools TFTP server should run.
