If the time drifts too far out in something less than days, your PC probably counts as broken. On the other hand if your ntp.conf contains the 127.127.1.u Undisciplined Local Clock (LOCAL) defined, perhaps that is your issue. ntpd.exe -U 3 -M -g # Start ntpd with -g, the -g will prevent a panic stop if the time needs to be stepped when started # ntp.conf for ALL (Clients and/or Servers) tos cohort 1 orphan 11 restrict default limited kod nomodify notrap restrict 127.0.0.1 restrict source nomodify keys "/etc/ntp.keys" # e.g. contains: 123 M LAN_MD5_KEY , 321 M Corp_MD5_KEY , ... trustedkey 123 321 manycastserver 224.0.1.1 manycastclient 224.0.1.1 key 123 preempt multicastclient 224.0.1.1 key 123 preempt broadcastclient # pool us.pool.ntp.org iburst preempt # pool time.windows.com iburst preempt server ntp.net.igt.com key 123 iburst preempt prefer #(Whatever YOUR server host name is) server 192.168.1.23 key 123 iburst prefer #(or Whatever YOUR server IP is) You might also want to update from 4.2.4p8 (Dec 2009) or 4.2.6p5 (Dec 2011) to a more recent 4.2.7 version (2013), e.g. <http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ntp_spool/ntp4/ntp-dev/ntp-dev-4.2.7p368.tar.gz> -- E-Mail Sent to this address <blackl...@anitech-systems.com> will be added to the BlackLists. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
