Here's what I want to do: To have NTPD run on VxWorks and Windows. Set VxWorks as the Server and Windows as the Client. My Ulitmate goal is the sync these two clocks.
Here's the scenario: Whenever I power cycle VxWorks, it will set the clock to 00:00, Jan 1, 1970. It's default. I wrote a simple program and set the clock to a more current time, 3:00pm, Oct 29, 2007. And I also did the following setting: VxWorks: Server, Initial time: 3:00pm, Oct29 2007 Windows: Client, Inital time: 3:02pm, Oct 29 2007 We would expect that the clock on Windows would be sync to the one on VxWorks after a couple minutes. However, after running ntpd for a couple minutes, the clock on Windows was changed to 5:15pm, Nov 21 1988. I have no idea why it happened. So I looked at the timestamp packet, here's one of the packet from the server to the client: Reference clock update Time: Oct 29, 2007 15:17:57.08333 UTC Originate Time Stamp: Oct 29, 2007 15:16:42.9551 UTC Receive Time Stamp: Jan 1, 1970 00:21:26.0827 UTC Transmit Time Stamp: Oct 29, 2007 15:20:30.1500 UTC Why am I still getting Jan 1, 1970 as the Receive Time Stamp? Is it because my simple program didn't set the clock correctly?? Are there more than one clock on a system? Am i supposed to set all of the clocks first before I run ntpd?? Thanks. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
