tftp server

Having a problem trying to load a tftp server on my linux box.
did a fresh install using YUM.

[root@localhost ~]# yum install tftp-server
[root@localhost ~]# yum install tftp

three things were installed tftp-server, tftp and xinetd.x86_64.
Once I changed the tag in the file:

/etc/xinetd.d/tftp
disable = no

After restarting xined service I can not do a get with tftp, instead I get the following.
[root@localhost ~]# tftp -vvv localhost -c get me
Connected to localhost (::1), port 69
getting from localhost:me to me [netascii]
Transfer timed out.

both iptables adn ip6tables are disabled, has anyone seen this before?
