Meinberg do not supply the software you are using, they only supply the installer. The software is owned by the University of Delaware.

This is misleading. The local system clock WILL be used as a backup (and to interpolate between polls). 127.127.1.1 should only be used if the bit in parentheses really is true. Sometimes setting this can prevent ntpd locking onto a real server.

restrict 192.168.0.0

With classless routing, this could be a host, but it is unlikely.

What does /24 mean?

restrict 192.168.3.100 mask 255.255.255.255 nomodify notrap noquery

server 0.fi.pool.ntp.org minipoll 10 iburst

Mis-spelled keyword.

server 1.fi.pool.ntp.org minpoll 10 iburst

The mistake most people make is setting minpoll too low.  This is too high.

ntpd hasn't been up long enough, or has had a recent time step.
