I think it matters whether we're talking about Windows 2000 or Windows 2003. The packet structure is apparently the same... Check out this link...maybe it will help clarify: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/all/techref/en-us/Default.asp?url=/Resources/Documentation/windowsserv/2003/all/techref/en-us/w2k3tr_times_how.asp Rob

Do I have to take any additional steps to allow that same server to be the NTP server for a non-Windows device? The device is a phone switch on our network, and it doesn't seem to recognize that server as being a valid NTP server. Thanks!
