Windows Time Problem

Hi,

I'm running a Server2K3SP1/XP Pro SP2 network with no external connection.
I am getting Event id 50 errors - ......time service detected a time
difference of greater than 128 milliseconds for more than 90
seconds.....time service is no longer synchronised... etc. I have to stop
and restart the time service on the other servers every morning to re-sync
them!
The PDC is set to NT5DS and parameters\Ntpserver is set to the PDC IP
address. All other settings are the default.
Can anybody suggest a solution please?

Many thanks

Adrian
