I don't believe that is the case (but I might be wrong). The XP Microsoft NTP client is actually an SNTP client, and simply syncs once in a while to the server. By default, I think the sync is once per week. The Window 2003 Server NTP software is much nearer to the reference NTP implementation. > Is there any reason I shouldn't be able to get my XP time service to > sync the time as well as NTP ... as you have demonstrated with > Win2003? You may want to ensure that the multimedia timers are permanently enabled. The Meinberg NTP Windows port allows that (as a command-line parameter).
