Joe: I have a number of Win boxes all looking to the same time server, which in my case is the 192.168.0.1 gateway FSBD...which checks with the NTP outside servers (I have three set up in case one is down). In my setup, you would have to be logged in via Samba, have Task Scheduler running to check the time on the FBSD box as often as you like and set it on the Win box with the line command in a batch file I gave earlier..... all boxes are thus synced...

When you say "I have a FBSD box on 192.168.20.4."=A0 Is this the IP=20 address of the Nic card on the FBSD box that's talking to the machines=20 down line, or is it the public IP address your private network is known=20 by? 127.0.0.0 is the only IP address that I know of that is this FBSD box. I have 3 Nics, How would I get all the Winboxs on all the Nics to point=20 to one single IP address for the ntp time server?=A0=20 =20 <<<<<<<< Best regards, Jack L.
