Question : Create Windows 2000 NTP Server

Hi I need to create a Windows 2000 NTP Server.

I followed this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216734

I think this articles tells me how to get the time but it doesn't tell me how to make the Windows 2000 machine BECOME a NTP SERVER.

The computers in the domain get the time from the PDC with no problem.  MY PROBLEM is the following, one of the programmers needs to get the time from this Server.  It used to work until yesterday and know it doesn't work.
He is using a Linux box to connect to my server.

The command he is using to try to synchronize in Linux is:   /usr/sbin/ntpdate - u 192.168.1.2

It doesn't work connecting to my machine, but it does work connecting to a ntp server in the internet.  How can I fix this?

Thanks

Answer : Create Windows 2000 NTP Server

Windows 2000 (Win2K) uses a time service, known as Windows Time Synchronization Service (Win32Time), to ensure that all Win2K computers on your network use a common time. The W32Time Service is a fully compliant implementation of the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) as detailed in IETF RFC 1769. SNTP uses UDP port 123 by default. If you want to synchronize your time server with an SNTP server on the Internet, make sure that port is available.

Do a netstat -a on the server to see if that port is "listening".

Also check any firewall software to make sure it is allowing the use of that port.
