Nistime has exhausted my list of time servers without connecting to any.

Do you know of a time server that responds to Nistime?

I use
0.north-america.pool.ntp.org
1.north-america.pool.ntp.org
0.ca.pool.ntp.org
1.ca.pool.ntp.org

There should be *.pool.ntp.org servers for your location, see

Nothing was received from any of the pool servers.
One specific server refused to connect.
All other specific servers timed out.

I have not changed my software so am at a loss to understand why it no longer
works.

The same software works on another machine.

With the same time servers?

I use a different clock synchronization program, and I've
had cases where time servers that used to work no longer
work. It may be that the people in charge of that time
server decided to end the service, or perhaps limit it to
just a certain range of IP addresses to serve a particular
community rather than just anyone.

I wrongly reported Nistime working on another machine; it does not.

Here is my server list:-

You need to figure out what is failing and where.

- Run iptrace in a command line session with
iptrace
- Run nistime in another command line session with
nistime.exe -s0 au.pool.ntp.org
- Press enter in the iptrace session window
- Run ipformat in the iptrace session window with
ipformat >nistime.out

Nistime.out should report a DNS lookup and a UDP transaction.

Hi John,

- Run nistime in another command line session with
nistime.exe -s0 au.pool.ntp.org
- Press enter in the iptrace session window
- Run ipformat in the iptrace session window with
ipformat >nistime.out
Nistime.out should report a DNS lookup and a UDP transaction.

Experiments with Nistime options confirm that the DNS is working.

Is it significant that ping 127.0.0.0 fails? I am sure it used to work.

Here is the nistime.out file:-

Hi John,

Experiments with Nistime options confirm that the DNS is working.

Not really. You have at least one bad name server configured. Note
the huge (i.e. 4 and 8 second) delta times. Check RESOLV2 compared to
what your ISP recommends.

Post by j***@nospam.com.au
Is it significant that ping 127.0.0.0 fails? I am sure it used to work.

Take a look at your setup.cmd. It's configures localhost.

The ARP packets may also indicate a problem with your router. You
really should not see ARP packets except at boot time. What does

arp -a

report? A typical report will be

ARP table contents:

interface hardware address IP address minutes since
last use
lan0 0 :16:41:e7:86:6c 192.168.10.6 1
lan0 0 :14:bf:17:10:d1 192.168.10.251 4

In this case, 192.168.10.6 is the host and 192.168.10.251 is the
router.

yes, trying to connect using the old deprecated DAYTIME protocol,
and getting rejected.

No one uses DAYTIME anymore, and support is removed from
almost all servers.

You need to use an app, that uses NTP protocol. Maybe you can configure
the one you use to use NTP, or get a better one.

I'd recommend:
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/apps/internet/time/clkmgr_08b.zip

which is the best app for this for OS/2 - and it is free
It keeps your clock always @ msec precise.

Of course it is :-)

I'm not sure I've tried your suggestion; but I tried a bunch of NTP apps (long time ago)
and no other app could do what clkmgr does.
Keeping your system within msec precision at all times, and even working
as NTP server if you want for all your local machines are very nice features,
that are very usefull to me.

Not in my experience. That's true of the TIME protocol (RFC 868),
maybe you're thinking of that. TIME is officially deprecated, and
its use is indeed discouraged. However, DAYTIME (RFC 867) still
has many servers providing it.

What DOES seem to be the case is that most DAYTIME servers appear to
have changed their data format slightly such that older clients don't
always work with it anymore. I know this necessitated an update to
daytime.exe in recent years as the DAYTIME protocol was broken with
almost all servers until the protocol parser was modified.

The Clkmgr package includes Makelist.cmd and a newer version of Nistime which,
together with updated DNS addresses and pool urls, is all that was required to
make it work as it used to.

I have not bothered with the new clock01.sys or clkmgr.exe.
