I have 4 computers in a workgroup network, all running Windows 7 Proffessional. I would like to set one of the computers up as a the NTP server for the other clients so that log times match up. I have walked through Group Policy and set the first client to "ntp server enabled". Next I made sure that the windows time service was enabled on the machine I chose to be the server as well as all the clients. I then went to each subsequent machine and ran gpedit to put the correct IP address for the time server and set the NTP client to enabled. When I try to force a time update I get a message saying no time data was available. If I change the clients' NTP server address back to the default windows time server, the clients are able to sync, so it doesn't appear to be a problem with the clients, unless they need to be configured differently to use an IP address instead of a Domain name or URL. I have scoured the internet looking for a solution but have not come across anything. I attempted to use NET USE to define a set username to use when connecting to the "server" (FSAC1) the commands i entered are as follows NET USE \\FSAC1\IPC$ password NET USE \\FSAC1\IPC$ \user:username That did not seem to have any effect. The firewall is turned off on all of the machines to remove that as a variable. UAC is on on all 4 machines. the machines are all set for static IP addresses This is, and will remain a workgroup network with no Server. Any help from anyone that has come across this issue would be greatly appreciated. I know its got to be some setting that I am missing, but i can't figure out what. Thanks, Alan
