Yeah it is properly networked. I am connected via SSH now. And of course I can ping yahoo.com and other sites. > the computer is not able to reach the ntp server. try pool.ntp.org The computer _is_ able to reach the ntp server. See this example: [ 17:34 mx2@ebox ~ ] date Fri Sep 10 17:35:00 CEST 2004 [ 17:35 mx2@ebox ~ ] rdate time.fu-berlin.de Fri Sep 10 19:57:55 2004 [ 17:35 mx2@ebox ~ ] rdate -s time.fu-berlin.de [ 17:35 mx2@ebox ~ ] date Fri Sep 10 17:35:27 CEST 2004 [ 17:35 mx2@ebox ~ ] ntpdate time.fu-berlin.de 10 Sep 17:35:42 ntpdate[8708]: no server suitable for synchronization found [ 17:35 mx2@ebox ~ ] I really wonder why system time isn't set, because as said I use the rdate tool on another FreeBSD machine and the same time server w/o any problems... Any other ideas? Greetings, Matthias -- Homer: There couldn't be heaven if there weren't a hell. Bart: Who's in there? Homer: Oh, uh ... Hitler's dog.
