The correct IP address for the PC is 192.0.0.128 for when the NVR probes for the tftp server.
The most common cause of the NVR not connecting to the Hikvision-specific tftp server is the Windows firewall blocking access. This can be caused by disallowing the needed access when first running the tftp server - it creates a block rule.
Use Control Panel | Windows Firewall | Advanced settings | Inbound rules, and ensure there is an Allow rule for TCP and UDP for private and public networks for the program tftpserve.exe in whatever folder you have put it.
*edit* If you inadvertently created a Block rule, turning the firewall off is sometimes not sufficient to allow access.
Just checked all of that and still no joy, nvr just boots up tftp says connect failure.
