I have a Netgear FR114P firewall/router. When looking at the logs I see the following entries every 2 hours: Fri, 2003-08-08 01:10:33 - Send out NTP Request to 192.43.244.18 Fri, 2003-08-08 01:10:33 - Receive NTP Reply from 192.43.244.18 NTP is a time check. 192.43.244.18 resolves to time.nist.gov which is the government's time server. The question is: what is generating these time requests? I don't think any of the programs on my PC is doing it. Does the FR114P automatically do a time check every 2 hours? If so, is there a way to stop it?
Most likely the router if you have the option turned on. Look at Schedule section of the configuration. Another possibility is Windows XP clients, assuming your clients are XP. The default installation has XP checking its time against time.nist.gov. Check the clock setting for this.
