Thank you Charles for the excellent lead! I took your advice and did a "#netstat -ldp | more" and got the following lines concerning port 123 (with apologies for the formatting problems):
proto recv-Q send-Q local addr foreign addr state PID/Pgrm name udp 0 0 192.168.1.254:123 0.0.0.0:* 1063/ntpd udp 0 0 127.0.0.1:123 0.0.0.0:* 1063/ntpd udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:123 0.0.0.0:* 1063/ntpd Nothing is in the "state" column although 'LISTEN' appears with port 53, 1023, and 80. I'm no expert but I get the idea that 'LISTEN'should have been in the 'state' column. I will start looking at the conf file and see if I missed something in the conf to enable the server function.

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. -- > Charles Steinkuehler __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
