[time-nuts] NTP problem on Windows

2007-05-16 Thread Joseph Gray
I am running the Meinberg NTP software on two PCs. Both PCs are running WinXP w/SP2, both are on the same network and both are syncing to servers at pool.ntp.org. In the past, both clocks have shown that the two PCs had the same time. Today, I just noticed that one of the PCs is running about 9

At my QTH both of those servers are Stratum 2 and within a few hundredths of a second of the Right Time. Odd that you see them as Stratum 3, maybe you've got a firewall pulling tricks on you :-). The best way to configure a NTP client is with multiple (preferably 3 or 4) servers, ideally

I am not familiar with the Meinberg software so I am guessing that if you are running that NTP software you would not be using Windows time service? If you don't need Windows time service, go into services and stop the windows time service and set it to manual or disabled. My thinking is the

Ah, well. You seem to have all the bases covered, except for the 9 second error. How about using a freeware SNTP client with those IP addresses. The client needs to keep a log; maybe you will need some shareware. I use Tardis and YATS32. The log will show you gross errors, like seconds. SNTP logs

The reference NTP implementation - of which Meinberg provides a packaged M$WIN-version - is perfectly capable of logging. Adding a few more servers to each PC and maybe adding the other PC as a server would make faultfinding easier. -- Björn On Thu, May 17, 2007 4:45, Bill Hawkins said:

I use Linux as well as Windows, where appropriate. In this case, I did not reboot the Windows system in question. I only restarted the NTP service, which is a port of the opensource NTP daemon by Meinberg. I know Windows bashing is a popular sport, but in this case, I don't think it is
