GS108Tv2 SNTP timeout

My GS108Tv2 will not connect to any SNTP servers to sync the device's time.  I have tried many different dns names for North America.  All of the status eventually show "Request Timed Out".  

 

I can ping the DNS names (e.g. time.chu.nrc.ca, time.nrc.ca, pool.ntp.org, etc)

I have also tried the same server which my firewall is configured to use (0.peplink.pool.ntp.org)

 

I updated the firmware to v5.4.2.36 but have the same result.

 

This post did not help me resolve my issue.

 

Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

 

Thank you,

Michael

  • Double check default gateway and DNS.

     

    Try ca.pool.ntp.org or to exclue DNS from the equation e.g. 205.206.70.40: (one of the Canada pool.ntp.org for example).

      Thank you for your response.

       

      The lookup works with an ip address as you suggested. 

       

      I tried changing the DNS settings to use Google's servers.  However, using the DNS names still fail with a timeout.  

       

      Anything else to try to get the DNS names to resolve?
