Re: Testing NTP on Win2003

I re-read your original post and saw that your are have problems with
non-windows boxes? Are you using native NTP in Windows? It actually uses
SNTP, which does not work with clients other than MS. You'll have to get a
true NTP server and have the servers sync to that. You could also have your
router get NTP from your ISP and have the servers query the router for time.
A good NTP server for Windows is YATS32 which supports both NTP and SNTP.
