Re: [cobalt-users] Qube2 NTP

[Mike Vanecek <Clist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have tried several. Interesting enough, the only one that works is an ip
address internal to my gateway. I know I am being blocked from pinging
external to the gateway - now I suspect the block impacts the ntp port. I
have a query in to our data comm people. What could they do that would block
both?

I still cannot find the ntp program. I use the gui interface, but would like
to try it direct. Does the Qube have a NTP program?

Thanks.
