My M$ machine still cannot sync with the DS firewall with a "unable to contact server" and a mandrake 9.0 box with "netdate 192.168.1.254" run from root gets "connection refused".
Looks like I'm still lost as how to open the internal port 123 for the time server.
Port 123 for internal systems should be "open" already. I strongly suspect either your M$ machine is looking for a different "flavor" of time-server (ie something other than NTP), or the NTP package you're running does not implement the server functions (I'm not personally familiar with the NTP software you're using).
It's also possible you need to configure your ntp software to listen to the internal NIC. You can check which programs are listening on which IP's with the netstat command: netstat -lnp
Look for UDP port 123, and make sure it's either listening on 0.0.0.0 (all IP's), or the IP of your internal interface. If nothing is listening on that port, you either need different NTP software to support the server portion of NTP, or have some kind of configuration problem.
