clock in FW 2.80 dp-508

[Novisa]

Am I the only one who doesn't get the clock to work in this firmware? :(
I am using the _dracula_ mod (beta 6), but still i only get --- in the player display??
NTP settings are turned on in the setup, and yes! I am connected to the internet :-)
But I am using a linksys gameadapter for wireless access.... (if that matters???)
Anyone else has this problem?

If you can get to the Internet the clock should work.
Must be the setup.

Firewall blocking NTP?
Maybe wireless setup, try a cable as test...

If NTP is reachable, clock will work!

Thanks Hi-Jack,
you're probably right about the firewall settings, will check it as soon as I get home from work today...

Perhaps you should consider that ntp uses the same source and destination port, as an example:
your player is 10.0.0.5
the internet ntp server is 192.168.1.2

Your firewall rule1 would be:
source 10.0.0.5 udp port 123
to
destination 192.168.1.2 udp port 123

As it should be mirrored the second rule2 would look like
source 192.168.1.2 udp port 123
to
destination 10.0.0.5 udp port 123

NTP is a bit special because source and destination port are the same, normally destination port would port would be > than 1023, that's what may be what your firewall expects, I might miss rule2?
Verify this!
