Interpreting Timeserver Test
To interpret the meaning of failing individual tests, check the failed test below:

Resolve name

Unable to resolve name into IP address. Check spelling of address.
Check if Internet connection is active.
Name lookup is active by checking a known public site
(i.e. www.yahoo.com).
Domain name server is down or otherwise unavailable.

Note: Generally if you cannot resolve the address, all the subsequent tests will fail.

Ping

Timeserver does not echo back a ping. Many timeservers do not support ping. Verify by pinging a known public site
(i.e. www.yahoo.com).

Timeserver does not support connection with the NIST or Daytime protocol. Test with other protocols.

A proxy server is blocking communication over port 13. Try another NIST timeserver (i.e. time-a.nist.gov).

SNTP
