Update Windows Time Rule

Hi All

Below is a rule I just created and tested for allowing Windows to update time via time.windows.com.

The most difficult part was figuring out the IP address, I finally found it in the blocked log after several failed attempts updating time.

Here is the rule:
Description
Update Time

Rule
Allow UDP Incoming

Local IP
Any

Local Port
123

Remote IP
207.46.130.100

Remote Port
123

Hope this helps some to get their feet wet.

Regards
George

 

Yes, thanks. I had this rule on Sygate (advanced rules) for so long, I forgot I would even need to add it! CHUCK

 

Hi All

For referance the IP for time.nist.gov is 207.46.130.100 if you happen to use this site to update your clock.

 

@ssclockdr

ping time.nist.gov = 192.43.244.18

 

I concur. Not sure where I got that from. Thanks for the correction.
