Using NTP \ SNTP Software with Windows XP / 2003 Firewall

Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003 SP1 has an enhanced firewall that blocks NTP \ SNTP requests and responses. In order to maintain NTP \ SNTP server or client operation, you will need to configure the firewall to allow network time protocol UDP messages.

Network time protocol operates on UDP port 123, this is the port that needs to exempt from the firewall protection.

How to configure Windows XP firewall.

From the Control Panel, select Windows Firewall.

Ensure 'Windows Firewall' is 'On (recommended)'

Ensure 'Don't allow exceptions' is unchecked.

On the Windows Firewall 'Exceptions' tab, select 'Add Port'

In the 'Add Port' window, type 'SNTP' as port name and port 123 as port number. Also check UDP port. Click OK.

'SNTP' should now appear in the list of exceptions.

Now that NTP \ SNTP port 123 is exempt from the firewall, any NTP \ SNTP application should operate correctly.
