Clients never get synchronise with Microsoft w32time NTP server

Hi

I am trying to configure NTP server in Windows 2003 server and client
as Redhat Linux AS 4. But if I use W32time of Windows my client will
never synchronise with the server. But if I use the third part software
in Windows server 2003 (http://www.meinberg.de/english/sw/ntp.htm) my
Linux client will synchronise with the server. I heard that W32time is
based on SNTP but read that SNTP and NTP can be used interchangebly.

(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sol...w/21wsdsu.mspx)


I have two problem here.

1. I am not getting the error message in system log that w32time
synchronise to itself.

"The time provider NtpClient cannot reach or is currently receiving
invalid time data from 192.168.1.1
(ntp.m|0x0|192.168.1.1:123->192.168.1.1:123)
No response has been received from Manual peer 192.168.1.1 after 8
attempts to contact it. This peer will be discarded as a time
source
and NtpClient will attempt to discover a new peer from which to
synchronize.
The time provider NtpClient is configured to acquire time from one
or
more time sources, however none of the sources are currently
accessible. No attempt to contact a source will be made for 960
minutes. NtpClient has no source of accurate time."

2.I am not able to syncronize with the server at all.

My configuration is just between two system in a local lan using cross
cable. Server is configured to use internal clock. My tcpdump shows
client and server exchanging packets with time stamps ..
