tcp ports

[troy]

In my W2K network, I'm trying to make a workstation the
master time server instead of my DC. I've set the sntp
server using the net time command and get the desired
results when I net time /querysntp. But when I try to
sync up using w32tm -once, an attempt is made to send to
server, then I receive an NTP: recv. failed (Socket
Err0r) -10054. NTP didn't receive datagram. In the Event
Viewer I get "The NTP Server didn't respond". The
machines are all local, no firewall. This isn't a network
connectivity issue, the network is running fine (ping,
browsing work fine). I'm logged in as Admin when
attempting but I have a hunch this is a privlege issue but
not sure. Please help.

thanks in advance!!!!

The socket error 10054 is WSAECONNRESET, which means the server has reset
the connection request.

Check your sntp server to see if it has been setup probably - particularly
if the TCP port that is used by sntp is opened on the server.
