(port by Meinberg, available at

on my Windows 2000 SP4 server, I wanted to sync with a USB gps i got in my
desk
for several months.

I see three problems here:
a) I am pretty sure that there is no support for NMEA clocks built into the Windows port of NTP b) Using USB introduces heavy jitter, therefore a USB connection renders your GPS almost useless c) cheap GPS receivers not designed to be used as a time reference tend to send out their time stamps with a delay that disqualifies them for timing

You should use that GPS with your notebook as a navigation gadget and configure a set of pool servers (http://www.pool.ntp.org/) as your primary sources of time.

Kind regards,
Heiko
