Re: NTP Reached but not Synchronized [SOLVED]

Could it be that the stratum of the remote NTP server isn't low enough? (Just a suggestion. I don't know whether the RouterOS' NTP client even looks at the stratum value.)

You can maybe script it - under PPP->profiles you can define on-up and on-down scripts that should be run when PPPoE establishes a connection.
