Are you running an NTP server on the Windows host (to which the Linux
host will synchronize)? Or are you trying to synchronize the other way
around (the Windows host gets the sync from the NTP server on the Linux
host)? I don't remember Windows XP coming with an NTP server since it
is a workstation OS.
If you are doing the latter case and trying to get Windows' NTP client
to connect to the NTP server on your Linux host, did you configure the
NTP client on Windows to point at the NTP server on your Linux host?
Configure recovery:
- Run the NT Services applet (services.msc).
- Select the "Windows Time" service.
- Open its properties.
- Configure what recover modes you want.
Configure the NTP client:
- Double-click the clock in the system notification area (i.e., system
tray). Or use the "Date and Time" applet in Control Panel
(timedate.cpl).
- Click the "Internet Time" tab to display it.
- Enable and configure the NTP client to connect to your Linux host's
NTP server.
Does it work now?
Also, there is no interval that you can configure the Windows NTP client
to poll the NTP server for an update. I suspect the only time that
Windows will sync with your Linux server is when you load Windows (or
possibly when you login although I doubt it). I know when I had to use
the Novell login manager that its NTP function only synchronized once
when you logged it. If you remain logged in indefinitely then you never
do another time sync.
I use Socketwatch to keep my workstation sychronized. However, it is
setup to poll lots of external 2nd and 3rd level time servers from its
list, and I've never figured out how to edit its list to get it to
always use one particular time server. There are other utilities out
there, like Atomic Clock, that might let you specify a specific time
server. Since I'm not running any NTP servers, having Socketwatch go
out and find the best one works best in my situation.
