New problem: NTP wouldn't start automatically. The system event log shows that NTP service was started repeatedly (I configured it so it restarts after initial failure) but it shuts down itself (message: NTP service is stopping with no message wrt why). It would stop if I start it manually. However, it will run if I open the serial port with Hyperterminal and the close it without doing anything else). I am very puzzled.
