I refer to this document from vmware. http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmware_timekeeping.pdf Generally, ntp & vmware timesync fight each other. The usual method is to turn off the ntp service, figure out how to minimize interrupts, allow the clock to run a little slow and allow vmware timesync to bump up the time when it gets about 1 minute slow. There's another thread that mentions issues with on-board nics and drivers. Over the years, I've bumped into that myself. To the extent I try and use host-only and route whenever possible. That's worked better for me in generic usage. Regards, Doug -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
