Re: Is there a problem with time.windows.com?

You forgot to put a "," between the servers. It should look like
0.uk.pool.ntp.org,1.uk.pool.ntp.org,2.uk.pool.ntp.org,3.uk.pool.ntp.org (no
spaces)

Oops.

C:\>net time /querysntp
The current SNTP value is: 0.uk.pool.ntp.org 1.uk.pool.ntp.org
2.uk.pool.ntp.org
3.uk.pool.ntp.org

achived using the net time /setsntp: command.

However on all of them:

W32Time
29 05/08/2007 04:28 2 *
The time provider NtpClient is configured to acquire time from one or more
time sources, however none of the sources are currently accessible. No
attempt to contact a source will be made for 15 minutes. NtpClient has no
source of accurate time.

and on one:

W32Time
17 04/08/2007 13:28 2 *
Time Provider NtpClient: An error occurred during DNS lookup of the
manually
configured peer 'time.windows.com,0x1'. NtpClient will try the DNS lookup
again in 60 minutes. The error was: No such service is known. The service
cannot be found in the specified name space. (0x8007277C)

Port 123 is open for UDP.

I'm in the UK (obviously). What have I done wrong?

although port 123 is open inbound for udp and tcp.

I seem to see this error intermittently but for some weeks / months it
has
been ongoing.

Should I change my ports / time source?
