NTP no answer

[kamardash]

Hi
I have HostMonitor v. 5.34 which runs on Win2003 SP1.
I want to check differences in time with another Win2003 server.
I add test:
test By: Hostmonitor
test method: NTP test
server: win2003server(can ping it)
port 123
Display mode: difference in time
but my test didn't work, I always receive no answer
I runs windows time service on win2003server computer, service is up.
I see in netstat that UDp port 123 is listening.
Do you have any idea what's can be a problem?

I see two possible reasons:
1. Firewall issue. Have you opened UDP port 123 on Windows 2003 server?
2. What about group policy? You need to configure Windows Time Service using Group Policy Object Editor (Start -> Run -> gpedit.msc, then click Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System, click Windows Time Service and enable Global Configuration Settings, configure Windows Time Providers and enable Windows NTP Server).

Regards,
Max

Thank you Max.
After I was enable NTP serevr, NTP test staat working.
Did you know if NTP server is set on Windows 2003 does the WIN2003 can still act like SNTP or NTP client ?
