For various reasons I have a firewall completely inhibiting
some of the older computers in my local network from
accessing Internet while they still have full access to all
computers on my local network.
However I would still like to maintain syncronization of the
system clocks in these computers if that is possible, so I
did a crude test of simply specifying the local IP addresses
for one computer running Windows XP and one computer
running Windows Vista in my local network to my SNTP
client program (D4).
Not exactly unexpected my SNTP client timed out waiting
for answers.
Is my idea at all tenable or would I need a local server (which
I do not have and have absolutely no intention of procuring)
