Folks,
While trying to debug an "NTP stops working" problem on Windows, I have
found that the TimeIncr value for that system is 156000, rather than the
156250 normally expected. I appreciate that there are a number of
different values which may be seen but I don't find both 156250 and 156000
sufficiently different to be one of the "usual" values. The PC is seeing
an error of about 1 second in ten minutes, which is about the difference
between 156250 and 156000. It's as if something has changed the default
TimeIncr for that PC, and changed it permanently. I couldn't find the
value in the registry, so I wonder whether it's hard-coded in one of the
system files.
Suggestions (other than change OS) would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David
