Hello,
I got a NT server synchronized with an outside source. Now I wanted to synchronize Netware5.1 to the NT box. I reconfigured the timesync.cfg to hit the IP of the NT box. When I try to load it I get a "couldn't connect".
Is there a protocol I need to install to talk to an NT box?
I am running IP on the Netware5.1

Thanx

Is your NT server an NTP server? NTP is a time protocol on top of IP.
If that is the case, you should use the following format for your "Configured Sources" on your NW5 server:
;xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:123
"123" is the IP port for NTP.
If your NT server is not an NTP server, then I doubt if what you try is possible. Can't you synchronise your NW5 server with the same outside source?

You can?t make NW timesync to send time to NT box.
What you need to do is make NT to read time from Netware. The most easiest way is to install NW client for NT onto your NT box.
You don't need to log into NW in order to get the right time from netware, however, the NT boot time may longer.

Good luck
