I'm using a GPSDO to set my PC Clock uisng ToyNTP
http://www.dxatlas.com/ToyNtp/ It keep time +/- 50 microseconds, which works great for digital work like WSJT-X. I have Network Time Protocol disabled in Administrative Services and I run ToyNPT as Administrator. It has worked fine for a year. Sometimes I get "SNTP Server: Unable to listen on Port 123" and reboot and it works OK. Just recently, something is grabbing that port, and won't let go. No new apps installed around the time the problem cropped up. Is there any way to find out what app is using Port 123?

It’s possible that some piece of networking outside your computer (or a “helpful” update to your firewall) is blocking incoming UDP on port 123 > > Is there any way to find out what app is using Port 123? In the Windows world there might be some variability about how to do this, but, there is a nice summary of methods on StackOverflow at: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48198/how-can-you-find-out-which-process-is-listening-on-a-port-on-windows One of the suggestions in that summery is TCPView: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/tcpview -Dale/KB1ZKD > > Bret/N4SRN > > > > -- > Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[hidden email] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > Message delivered to [hidden email] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

More than likely your existing NTP client in Windows has arisen from the
dead like a zombie, and is starting up at boot time. 73s and thanks, Dave NK7Z http://www.nk7z.net On 09/03/2017 05:51 AM, MaverickNH wrote: > No new apps installed... ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |
That TCPView is a nice app - it helped me confirm that the Win10 NTP client
was indeed coming back from the dead - not showing in Task Manager Processes but listening on ntp Port 123. Ending Process with TCPView seems more effective. Bullet to the head for those Zombie Apps! Thanks guys!

What Dave said!!! Windows is notorious for things similar to this.
