Hello,

it's now more than 4 months since we released the first version of
SNTPCLNT (1.1)

This is still the current release, but I'm working on V1.5

In the meantime ONE (and realy only one) problem has come to surface.
It occurs when all those conditions are meet:

SNTPCLN4.NLM on a NW 4.11 server
MPR 3.x router installed and configured to use unnumbered networks
IWSP3 or IWSP4 installed

When this is true, the SNTPCLN4.NLM is not able to receive any
timeinformation back from the time servers.

A wrong source-address is put in the NTP packets. (A 96.xx IP number)
So the timeservers don't find any valid route to send the answers
back.

The current 1.1 release can't work arround this problem. I will soon
release a 1.1b version who takes care of this problem. If you need a
solution now, contact me and I will send you a version directly.

Andre.

MTWIN V3.01, SNTPCLNT V1.1
