Chris, The firewall on the linux server is turned off completely for this part, so I know that's not it. It very well could be a firewall issue on the DC, however, without a login I cannot confirm. I can only believe what I'm told, and that is that it's on and working...
I am curious if you have any special settings in your ntp.conf file however? Thanks!
