I've got this weird problem I can't figure out. My Windows XP Pro for the last couple of weeks just won't connect to any time server using the built in windows time update with any NTP server. I always get the response "an error occured while Windows was synchronizing with <hostname>"
I've tried setting things explictly in the group policy editor, disabling all firewalls/domains/workgroups, logging in as Admin, connecting directly to my cable modem, even doing a repair installation. I've searched Microsoft and googled all over, and no one seems to have reported the same thing.
I can connect using any other kind of NTP client to the same servers (which ping fine), other people at my ISP have no problems, and another XP machine here works fine through my NAT router.
Anyone got any ideas what else I can look at short of wiping the disk and starting from scratch, which I really don't want to do.
Edit: Now I rechecked with the exact (US) spelling of the error, there seem to be a lot of people that get this error for no apparent reason, and no one seems to have a fix. I'm stumped that one machine here has no problems, and another with the same OS and patches simply will not longer work.
