That depends on whether you're talking ntp 3 or 4. 4 is the latest, but 3 is much more mature. The various windoze clients mentioned below have different behavior with different versions of real ntp servers; some don't recognize ver 4 servers, and some (eg, WorldTime) don't even recognize my local ntp3 servers. > >otherwise, if it is not a full-time connection, I suggest you check out > >the chrony package. ntp can handle part-time connections just fine, and there might be too much documentation available at the main ntp site (it doesn't help that it gets re-arranged once in a while either). But there is extensive documentation available, both on the ntp software and timing in general. I suggest you spend some time there and you'll find plenty of good info (I learned quite a bit). See: http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ This is the master site for all things you need to know (or were afraid to ask).

I wonder which versions of ntp that XP can see? I'd rather not find out...
