mooker Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 I need a little help. :D I have my DSL running through a debian server, and a second net card connected to a hub. I have two computers that connect to the hub, both running XP. I wanted to configure ntpd so that I can point my xp machines to my internet time server on the linux box. Any help would rule. Thanks!

MxxCon Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 check out http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ntpfaq/NTP-a-faq.htm it's not that hard to setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooker Posted January 12, 2002 Author Share Posted January 12, 2002 Man, that link was deep! :D The daemon is up and running on my linux box. But when I point my xp machines to it for internet time syncronization, it doesn't see it! I'm not sure if I didn't configure it right or not.

MxxCon Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 your xp doesn't see debian or ntp deamon? for troubleshooting you might want to install some 3rd party client. i'm sure they will give more info about the prblm. once you get it working you can switch back to xp's builtin.

Vlad Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 Could be a ton of things wrong here; the internet superserver could not be set to allow the ntp protocol, or your hosts.allow and hosts.deny files may be stopping the xp boxes. Or your windows boxes are trying to resolve the dns/netbios name of the linux box when it has no fqdn or nmbd service running. Or, yes, you could have simply misconfigured it. More info is needed...
