If I understand the question correctly then Todd needs an NTP source for SipX. There must be more systems in the closed network then SipX, if on any of them you install or activate an NTP server then SipX can point to that. We have internal NTP servers and I use those for SipX.
If you need something for Windows look at: http://www.softpedia.com/dyn-search.php?search_term=ntp+server&x=0&y=0 If you want the time to be right then you can obtain that by GPS for example: http://www.sharewareconnection.com/gps-clock.htm Best regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Sincères salutations Paul > Tony Graziano <[email protected]> wrote > > Your system is probably only an ntp client.
