Can some-one give me some pointers as to how to synch the DNS-323 internal time with a local Windoze network please ? I can synch it with the D-Link time server via the internet Ok and the time appears to be set correctly. I have a local network time server, WinXP Pro SP2 with the Windows Time service enabled (NTP) and 'About Time' providing Time/UDP, Time/TCP and Daytm/TCP. The DNS-323 fails to find the time server (by IP or name) and screws up the internal time when it does so ! The rest of my network synchs with the WinXP server Ok and a third party test utility tells me the time server is serving up the time Ok so I'm assuming it's the DNS-323 that is the problem ? D-Link tell me the DNS-323 uses NTP and as far as I can see this is what the Windoze Time service provides. Am I missing something or is the DNS-323 just unable to synch with a Windoze network ??

With FW 1.03 I have also seen similar behavior. I have a Linksys NSLU2 as an NTP server and the DNS will not sync. All the other nodes on the network sync just fine. I even tried telnet and command line sync. Using an IP address seems to confuse it. When I added a host name into the hosts file it seemed to find the server but still did not sync correctly.

I have an in house machine running ntp-4.2.0.a.20040617-8 on Fedora Core 4.

I use

Code:

NTP_SERVER_IP_ADDRESS=10.10.10.10
# contact NTP server to fix system time
/usr/sbin/sntp -r  $NTP_SERVER_IP_ADDRESS

and the DNS-323 does sync time to the server.

I know this is not a windows time server solution, but (as a reference point) the DNS-323 does recognize the above command.

Thanks, I'm running firmware 1.03, it's usefull to know it's not just me. I assume you added your NTP server name to the DNS hosts file ? I'm not familiar with Linux but do know how to use Telnet, could you possibly provide some info. on how to add a host name to the DNS hosts file so I can at least try that option please ?
