Hi, Bruce... It was not about time/frequency standards, but about a DSA602 :-). However... do you have also blocked the 80.0.0.0/8 range? (because my two outgoing servers were blocked...). Both are from static IPs and clean in SORBS :-). Sorry again to the group for the noise. Regards,

Why did they ever stop transmitting time on the GOES satellites (besides age)? That was yet another backup source that used a different frequency than GPS LORAN... Jason -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Hawkins Sent: Friday, January

I know there is an issue with Java, and I also noticed a new Micro$oft patch (KB928388: 2007 Time Zone update for Windows XP) that has to do with time, but I am not sure if it has to do with Daylight Saving Time. Jamie --- Bob Kupiec [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: March 11 at 02:00 The
