I have ntpd running perfectly on my desktop, and now I'd like to set the time on my laptop and other machines on my little LAN from the desktop. However, I haven't succeeded in this, and while I have read a number of interesting NTP tutorials, I haven't seen any which discuss what must be quite a common request, particularly now with everyone constructing a home LAN. I've added restrict 192.168.3.0 mask 255.255.255.0 notrust nomodify notrap and broadcast 192.168.3.255 to /etc/ntp.conf on my desktop, and re-started ntpd on desktop and laptop, but my laptop reports i ntpd: Synchronising with time server: [FAILED] [My WiFi network is 192.168.3.*] What am I missing? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
