I had been using DayTime already but it has started to fail of late. I thought it was because they finally shut off daytime, so was looking for something that used the ntp protocol. But as I look deeper into this it appears to be a DNS issue. Somehow when my daytime pipe is attempting to connect to the server, its coming up with an IPV6 address and the connection attempt fails with a network unreachable error. Hmmm. How to get it to use IPV4. Ideas? -- bc
