Hi all,

I want to configure a ntp server on one of my desktop, but it doesn't work. Let me explain what I did, may be there are 
some mistakes inside.

What i want to do is to configure a ntp server on a PC running Win XP so that a terminal (connected through a LAN) which
 is running a QNX image could be synchronized with it. This XP machine is not connected to the Internet. So the purpose 
is to be able to modify myself the time on this machine and be sure that the terminal will get it when it sends a ntp 
query to the XP machine.
I'm using Meinberg which provide tools to create a ntp server on a Windows machine and give also a tool to monitor that 
server. 

My problem is not working. I'm not a specialist on NTP but all the forums i've checked are saying that it's very simple.
 For me, it seems not. Here is my configuration and the answer on my terminal console.

This is the configuration on th XP machine using Meinberg solution
/* ntp.conf file* /
# NTP Network Time Protocol 

driftfile "C:\Program Files\NTP\etc\ntp.drift"

server 127.127.1.0
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 12
server 192.168.123.225

enable stats
statsdir "C:\Program Files\NTP\etc\"
statistics loopstats

/*end ntp.conf file */


Here is the results on the terminal console

/* terminal results  */
