The next-server address is part of the dynamic range. That's probably
not your problem here, but it's not a good idea to have things with
statically assigned IP addresses inside the dynamic range.

It sounds like the client cannot resolve (IP->MAC) the address of the
TFTP server, 10.0.2.3. Is the TFTP server actually on the same VLAN and
holding that address? Can you reach the TFTP server from a another
device on the same VLAN?
