Re: SNTP problem

Jeff,

Most likely that is the problem.  You can check NETSTAT for port 123 and
see what your traffic (bytes in is like).  Or you could run a trace on your
line and determine the same thing.  I use a PC SNTP client to help with
problem determination.  There are a bunch of them and I'm sure everyone has
their preferred client - currently I've been using NetTime (
http://nettime.sourceforge.net/).

In the June issue of iSeries News is an article by Mel Beckman on TCP/IP
treasures.  Among other things are instructions on the SNTP in V5R1.

I followed his directions, but no matter what time server I use in the
CHGNTPA command (and I've tried a few, both by name and IP address),
when I do a STRTCPSVR *NTP it never works.  The QSYSOPR message queue
gets the following messages:

No response received from the NTP server.
SNTP Client initialization failure.

Could this mean the appropriate port (I think it's 123) is blocked in
our Cisco router?

Thanks.
