I don't think this is the problem. He asked for "ntp" synchronization, so he does not synchronize against the Windoze machine. For this (your) problem, which is a local network synchronization, I suggest to use `clockdiff' (you must be root to run it). Together with the `adjtime(2)' system call you can keep the clock synchronized (like using `ntpdate'). For some reason I can't find the adjtime man page on my linux machine, but it is installed. You can find the man page here: http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/refspecs/LSB_1.2.0/gLSB/baselib-adjtime-2.html You can also use adjtimex(2), which is Linux only and already has a program, adjtimex(8), that implement it. If you use adjtimex(8) you can write a small script that will get the time difference (in milliseconds) by clockdiff, subtract/add the hours difference, and uses adjtimex to slew the system clock.
