This is really weird.....
I have talked to my ISP and they say there is no blocking in force on my line (and I have a static IP address).
We ran a tracert from my PCs to ntp1.inrim.it and also ntp2.inrim.it and both tracert worked with 12 hops
to the correctly resolved addresses. But the program still fails to retrieve the time. I did try directly
with the IP addresses and got similar results.
With BktTimeSync, I had also tried various NTPs in Germany, France, Ireland, Switzerland and all failed to retrieve
the time, giving the same error.
I then tried a tracert on yet another Swiss NTP (Freestone) and this also resolved the IP address, reaching its
destination in 18 hops. By chance, I then tried Freestone in your BktTimeSync program, and with this NTP it
WORKED.
Why? You are able to synchronize using the Torino NTPs, but I cannot, although there is a path between.
How does it discriminate between you and me if we are using the same software??
However, I am able to synchronize on one NTP which is more remote , but not on others even more remote.
Is there a question of timing? Or perhaps authorization?
Does anyone else get similar problems? For me this started a few days ago.
