I'd guess that someone installed NTPD and neglected to configure it. I've never rung NTPD on Windows so I'm hazy on the details of configuring it on Windows. Most other systems have a file somewhere call ntp.conf which contains four or more "server" statements; each one pointing to a server to be used by ntpd. These statements look like server server_name.domain iburst server another_name.domain iburst server <IP address> iburst server . . . . It's customary to specify four, five, or seven servers. Ten is the absolute maximum. Four should be sufficient for most. "iburst" tells ntpd to send the first eight queries at intervals of two seconds. After the initial "burst" ntpd will query the server at intervals ranging from 64 seconds to 1024 seconds depending on how long it has been running and the quality of the time it is getting. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
