Re: Really weird ntp problem
I'm not sure, but this suonds like a firewall thing. Try (if it's not a security
problem for you) to:
1) connect to another external server
2) connect to an internal server (like your windows box if it supports that)
3) connecting from outside the firewall
Any luck with the troubleshooting?
