Point taken, but running ntpdate -q against one of the pool servers
produced the same results. It's exactly the point now that, with this
system, ntpdate.exe works from the command-line, but ntpd.exe doesn't work
when run as a service. I'm going to get the user to try running ntpd.exe
interactively to see whether it works that way, and then the question is
what would stop a Windows service from sending and receiving NTP packets.
Thanks for your help so far.
Cheers,
David
