Hi,

For some reason I seem to be unable to get a Smallbusiness server 5 to
act as an NTP source.

Users don't want to login every day.. but they do need to synchronize time.

The software I'm using can synch with an NTP source.

Clients are running Windows 95 OSR2 or OSR 2.5

Any thoughts??

TIA


B.

What Version and SP, which timesync.nlm version, and how is the server
configured? There were some timesync.nlm version that had problems
acting as NTP server. The current one (5.24o) should work fine.

Timesync 5.09 according to one of the appnotes (july 1999 Using Network Time Protocol (NTP) with Netware 5) it should work.

I hope downloading SP6 and the latest timesync will solve this problem.

Thanks,

Uuhh, 5.09 was the very first version to support NTP at all. I'm not
surprised this isn't the whole truth. :-)

Ok. If it doesn't, you may try ts524o.exe additionally. This one
definitely works fine.

Hi,

No. It acts as NTP server out of the box.
