Interesting you should say that. I've just raised a support case with
Pipex, who are part of the same group IIUC.
(Although I'm replying to the original post, I have read some replies
too.)
I noticed failure to access ntp.demon.co.uk a few weeks ago. My
central heating controller, which synchronises via !FreeTime to
ntp.demon.co.uk, was clearly running slow. I know the A3010 loses
about 5 seconds a day otherwise. Three computers are affected: the
A3010, the Iyonix and the BeagleBoard.
I also tried pool.ntp.org, 0.pool.ntp.org, 1.pool.ntp.org and
2.pool.ntp.org, equally without success. Eventually I found I can
access ntp.pipex.net, so that's what I've been using since then.
As a result of this thread I tried ntp2d.mmc.ac.uk but I can't
even resolve it. ntp2.demon.co.uk and ntp.maths.tcd.ie work for
me. I can resolve ntp.exnet.com but !FreeTime can't get time from
it and I can't ping it.
Pipex say they haven't blocked port 123.
A confusing picture, I'm afraid, but that's just the way it is.
Dave
