I do not think it is a Mikrotik issue, but hopefully someone can help.
If I set up a MT NTP server, then other RBs can get NTP client updates across several hops, but PCs connected on LAN will not update their time from a MT NTP server.
time.windows.com works.
I think there is a registry setting or something to make XP work, but cannot find it.
Anyone there have a fix?

Mine works. See the attached graphic. Whatcha doing wrong?
Don’t know. It just gives error " An error occured while Windows was synchronising time with …"
I use 3.27 but had the same problem since early 3.xx days.
different configurations of windows will accept different stratum levels. Possibly if you are part of a domain it’s even more strict. It seems to me most of the time the NTP stratum level is too high for Windows to ‘believe’ that it’s a good time source.
I also have the problem with source ip addressing… this is what actually stops me from being able to use it. Say you have 10.10.10.1 (wan1) and 20.20.20.1 (wan2 or lan) on your router. Whatever interface the NTP response leaves on determines what the source IP of the response is. Your machine now receives an NTP reply from an IP it didn’t ask the question, so it throws it out. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix it using NAT, mangle, policy routing, etc.
I didn’t have multicast/manycast enabled. After enabling it it didn’t work, come back 30 minutes later and it synched.
Thanks, maybe it needed a bit of time to ‘propagate’ or something.
