I hate bother everyone again. But I can't seem to sych with every program I could find. It may be my processor but I don't think so. Running Windows 7 laptop with 12 gb of memory.
Any help would be appreciated -- Thanks 73's de NU4N/Dave

Hi Dave, first thing you should do is uninstall all time sync applications you have tried, this is important as they will interfere with each other. Then restart Windows (note *not* shutdown and reboot) as I know for sure that Dimension4 for one is not fully removed until a restart. Once the decks are cleared install the Meinberg NTP Client application. In the installer pick a pool near to your location and also take the default of using the SYSTEM account for the service. That should be all you need to do. Use the "Quick NTP Status" tool that you will find on your start menu to check if the NTP client is synchronizing with one of the pool servers. You should see a '*' character in the left most column of one of the server lines after a couple of minutes, that indicates a suitable server has been picked for synchronization. This is what the Quick NTP Status shows for me: Checking current status of NTP service with ntpq -p

Note that I have a local stratum 0 GPS synchronized NTP server so
that is what the NTP client has synchronized to as it is by far
the most accurate time source I have. The server lines starting
with '+' are standby servers that are selected and those with a
'-' are rejected as being less accurate due to higher jitter or
are time offset outliers. 73

Get familiar with the “ping” command, then try pinging some of the time servers by name, ie time.foo.bar. If you don’t get replies, it’s a possibility that your home router is blocking the traffic. I’m not sure how most home routers come set up these days, but when I was running firewalls and routers professionally, one of the first things we did was block ping traffic for security purposes.

Hi, Dave, did you install Meinberg as
Administrator ??
In my case it worked only if installed as Admin..... 73, Karl OE3JAG Am 10.08.2021 um 19:51 schrieb Dave Tucker Nu4N:

If Meinberg won’t start, is it giving an error message? One way to find out: Launch a Command Prompt with Run as Administrator. That will give you admin privileges to start/stop/restart services. Try launching it manually. (eg look at the batch file commands) Net start ntp
See if it tells you what is wrong.
I’ve seen windows Updates install / reinstall / re-enable Win32time service. You could run Services.msc Then look at the properties for Windows Time service. Make sure it is not running, and startup is Disabled.
Another possibility is that Meinberg NTP is having trouble accessing a network port – something else might be attached to that port.

I think it's time for a new computer.

For example if you have installed the SNTP client Dimension4 before then you *must* uninstall it and restart your system, then the Meinberg NTP Client service should start automatically. Check the Windows Event Log for errors from the ntp service, they may well indicate that the NTP service port is in use which will block the service from starting. 73 Bill G4WJS.

Another option, rather than a new computer, is a cleaning and new install of the operating system and software. Old windoze systems get pretty cluttered and they run so much better after a reinstall.

Also, are the fans running full speed and/or are the exhaust vents hot? Laptops that gave been in use for enough years tend to have blocked cooling systems.

Just another thing to look at, but a new computer isn’t out of line either. 73, Willie N1JBJ
