Maybe you must allow your client to contact your server in the
hosts.allow file. 

This file must look like 

ALL:        network.address.of.your.client/255.255.255.0

or with more security:

portmap:    network.address.of.your.client/255.255.255.0
in.tftpd:   network.address.of.your.client/255.255.255.0

Maybe this will work !
