What interface is in the same subnet as the TFTP server? If you don't have an interface in that subnet, you won't be able to reach it.

In your diagram you're using two interfaces on the 1841. The interface that goes to the switch must be in the same subnet as the TFTP server. If that interface is f0/0 then that's where your problem is.

Why did you assign that ip address to fa0/0? Was it given by the exercise? If we follow the diagram and as jdfriesen mentioned, the tftp box is in the 192.x.x.x range. If fa0/0 is the interface connected to the switch then it needs a 192.168.1.x address.
