Here are the procedures to an NTP server on you network: on the Unix derived mac you use “ntdate -q <server name or ip>”, but on windows you use “w32tm /stripchart /computer:<server name or ip>”.

Now I started the w32tm /stripchart /computer:10.10.10.50 in power shell on my dell notebook and it started to running away with the message to use “Ctrl-Break” to stop.  Here’s where it gets fun, the FN extra keys labeled in small orange letters don’t have anything called “Break”, it took me a few minutes to do Ctrl-FN-Insert to stop this.  (The insert key is labeled with small orange letters as “Pause”.)

I have had a DS1515+ for over a year, and now I’m jealous of the new model, but not quite.  The new DS1517+ has an option for a dual 10gigabit copper connection OR a card with two M2 slots.

The “OR” is why I not fully jealous, I see the future as both these; and this model is just stuck in the middle of now and the future.
