Hi Amy, How about creating a packet filter on the ISA firewall for NTP and configure it as the time server? http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;323621 HTH, Tom www.isaserver.org/shinder Get the book! Tom and Deb Shinder's Configuring ISA Server 2004 http://tinyurl.com/3xqb7 MVP -- ISA Firewalls -----Original Message----- From: Amy Babinchak [mailto:amy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 10:52 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] Time Sync Problem http://www.ISAserver.org The situation is that the client has purchase time keeping software and it will use the domain time to track when an employee punches in and out. All client computers are sync'd with the server; that part is working fine. The server is not able to sync with an external time source. On the server, I get event 38 "The time provider NtpClient cannot reach or is currently receiving invalid time data from harbor.ecn.purdue.edu (ntp.m|0x1|192.168.1.100:123->128.46.154.76:123)." ISA log shows 192.168.1.100 128.46.154.76 Udp 123 123 - BLOCKED 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.100 is the external IP address of the SBS2003 server. A DSL router does the NAT from our static IP. The time service is supposed to be allowed in the default SBS setup. ISA has a packet filter for TCP 123, receive only on all local ports, remote port is fixed 123 on the external IP address. Shouldn't this be UDP? There is a Protocol Definition for 123 UDP Send/Receive. I've been hunting everywhere except in ISA for the problem, so I've already tried various time providers, FQDN and IP, modified registry entries and applied a hot fix.
