I had same problem with TFTP client under VMware because of NAT network on my virtual machine. When I switched to bridged connection it worked: was able to get files, get ip address via DHCP and boot via PXE.

Check your firewall, TFTP opens port 69 but the transfer itself also opens an additional random port (like FTP does) when that port gets filtered by a firewall the transfer will systematically timeout.
