Synchronize clock with internet server not

ReadyNAS 314 running firmware 6.10.8.

 

This is one of two ReadyNAS's on my small network. 

 

Noticed the time on the 314 was ahead exactly two hours. Inexplicable since other ReadyNAS showing proper time with same Netgear time servers?

 

Turned it off and set time manually.

 

Since then unable to restart time synchronization with the netgear time servers or any other time servers.  You type it in, check the box and it spins about 30 seconds and there is nothing there. Time still set to manual and correct.

 

Read on here an old discussion where apparently someone had a similar issue and they added 8.8.8.8 as an additional DNS setting under "network" "etho" settings.  Tried that, still doesn't work.

 

Any other thoughts or suggestions?  What happened even better?  LOL

      To saudade---I have tried many different time servers including time.nist.gov---to no avail----you're missing the point---it will NOT accept ANY time server---it simply spins a bit then blanks it out.

       

      To Sandshark---THAT was my first thought too---but NOT true---it was set properly.  And again---now that I turned it to manual and set it properly---I can't get the AUTO set feature to accept ANY time server---and least we all forget---meanwhile my other NAS works as always behind the same router---and in any event I checked the router time settings and firmware to see all okay there--and it is.

        FWIW, 0.us.pool.ntp.org is working on all my NAS.

         

        Did you try rebooting?  

        Is there anything useful in the log zip file?
