The pvt-ntp gets its clock from hq-gw. hq-gw gets its clock from a server ht-ntp hq-ntp gets its clock from lennier.cc.vt.edu. I have check the firewall rules on fw-hq-pvt and the rules are : allow pass udp from any to hq-gw 123 allow pass udp from hq-gw 123 to any. on pvt-ntp: if i execute ntpdate hq-gw i get : ntpdate[pid]: adjust time server hq-gw offset .... if i execute ntptrace hq-gw i get : 198.w.x.1: stratum 15, offset -1.362497, synch distance 0.05914 196.z.y.2: *Timeout* If i move pvt-ntp to the 198.w.x network, then clients can connect to it. if i move it to the 10.131.156 network then clients get "no server suitable for synchronization found" Please advise.
