Mauro,
Today the situation is even worse - I cannot obtain a response from any of the listed servers.
All result in "GetLastError returned 10060". Even from the Swiss and Saudi sites, which worked yesterday.
The diagnostic log merely confirms that after 5 seconds, this message is generated.
I have tried running BktTimeSync 1.4.0 from yet another XP computer in a totally different location
with a different high speed (microwave link) ISP. The result is still the same.
All listed NTP sites respond to a "ping".
Using "tracert", all NTP sites report their access path. The only nodes in the paths I see
that are common to those which I examined from all machines (and locations/ISP) are interoute.net
84.233.225.121
89.202.146.97
After several years of successful use of BktTimeSync, I had been promoting its use
for other ham operators in Malta. I will contact them and see whether they are experiencing
problems. I had been informed a few days ago, by a new user here, that he was unable to
synchronize time on his PC using BktTimeSync.
Could it be possible that a new version of the server software is being introduced
or even that the system itself may have been hacked?
Should this problem be escalated?
