Re: ntpd not doing anything
hi ya alex
given your ntp config file,
192.168.0.1 must be allowing/broadcasting ntp packets
otherwise... your laptop wont sync
your laptop wont sync with any ntp server if its more
than a couple minutes off... forgot exact number of seconds
you should always run ntpdate before kicking ntp ( getting it going )
to see if you can get pass any firewalls...
ntptrace -v ntp.apple.com
( for example - pick a public ntp server close to you )
- you should see it syncing...
