Hi,
I have been trying to get several internal machines to sync with external
servers. In my setup, I have one computer (let's call this master)
connecting to the Internet to synchronize the time. The other computers
(let's call these slaves) connect to the first computer for synchronization.
All the computers in this setup are running Windows XP SP2. What I notice is
that if I start the ntpd service on the slaves shortly (seconds to several
minutes) after ntpd on the master is started, the slaves do not get
synchronized right away. The time difference between the masters and the
slaves before the service was started were within a minute.
ntpq -p on the slaves shows:
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
===============================================
master.name .INIT. 16 u - 64 0 0.000 0.000
4000.00
ntpq -p on the master shows:
remote refid st t when poll reach delay
offset jitter
===============================================
LOCAL(1) LOCAL(1) 12 l 63 64 17 0.000 0.000 0.001
*srv1.netop.org 198.72.72.10 3 u 62 64 17 83.932 2.856 18.006
Config file for master:
########################################
driftfile C:\Docume~1\ntp\Locals~1\Temp\ntp.drift
server 127.127.1.1 iburst
fudge 127.127.1.1 stratum 12
server 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org iburst
########################################
Config file for slaves:
########################################
driftfile C:\Docume~1\ntp\Locals~1\Temp\ntp.drift
server 192.168.0.208 iburst
########################################
How can I get the slaves to sync immediately? Is there anything that I am
doing wrong? Thank you very much in advance.
Thanks,
