A reference clock is completely unnecessary for what he wants to do, let alone a view of the sky. One computer can be synced to the other, and the objective has been achieved. I am not sure if Windows XP can act as an NTP time server without install of ntpd. It can act as a client with no problem. Maybe ntpd has to be installed on one PC (with LOCAL as the reference clock) and then the other can either use the w32time standard NTP service or ntpd can be installed on the second PC as well. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
