Alan,

I hope you get this fixed. Here's what you can get with XP with the MM timer enabled:


Windows XP LAN-synched to a stratum-1 server, 32s poll for local servers, 1024s poll for Internet backup servers:

Windows XP acting as a stratum-1 server:

 http://www.satsignal.eu/mrtg/feenix_ntp_2.html


Both PCs running "ntpd 4.2.6-o Dec 09 11:48:30.27 (UTC-00:00) 2009 (1)" from Dave Hart's site. Both PCs have Intel, not AMD processors. Note the reduced offset on the monthly graphs in week 1 and week 2 - it was so cold here we kept the heating on 24 hours a day. PC Narvik has been rebooted about three times since the middle of week 2, hence the three positive transients.

On PC Narvik, Services Manager, Path to executable is:

C:\Program Files\NTP\bin\ntpd.exe -M -g -c "C:\Program Files\NTP\etc\ntp.conf"

Now you happen to mention processors, I realise that the PC where the timekeeping is poor with the more recent versions of NTP (i.e. 4.2.5 and later) both have AMD processors. Maybe a coincidence?

Cheers,
David
