When it tries to connect at boot, it can not make the connection. When the network is up, it can make the connection. I don't remember for sure, but I believe you were getting a DNS error. This could be because you couldn't reach the name server, or because you are running a local name server, and it isn't up when NTP starts. I would also expect to see this if you were using a wireless connection and network manager configured to make the connection when the user logs in. (User supplied wireless key instead of system supplied wireless key.) Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
