Question : Time Server Errors - WHY!!!

I just setup win2000 active directory, my problem is the Time Service.

When I bootup I get error "The NTP server  didn't respond"  Event ID:11

Things I did so far:

I opened UDP port 123 on my firewall
Set the following registry keys in  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters

LocalNTP: 1 - always start the SNTP server
ntpserver: to the ones listed below, one at a time
period: SpecialSkew

ntp2.usno.navy.mil
tock.usno.navy.mil
tick.usno.navy.mil
132.163.4.102 (an IP I grabbed out of my 3rd party software that I use at home, still no luck)


If I go to the CMD prompt and type:

net stop w32time
w32tm -once -v

I get this responce:

What am I doing wrong here?  Am I using the wrong servers or what?  I would prefer to get this working instead of resolving to a 3rd party software.  500 points for the expert that gets me syncing.

Answer : Time Server Errors - WHY!!!


what I do on win2k & xp
net time /setsntp (to return to the original configuration)
net time /setsntp:clock.redhat.com
net stop w32time
net start w32time
net time /querysntp

maybe go make sure she auto starts on 2k.

firewall:
you opened port 123 for UDP
does the firewall restrict access to applications? I have to add a line to my checkpoint allowing services ie; www,ntp
Dont forget windows will incriment the time slowly if it was way off. stop start service
