Hi,
I'm just wondering if anyone knows why this happens?
When running w32tm /stripchart /computer: I get a response back like every 2 seconds, but after a while start getting error 0x800705B4 3 times and then a response. I can stop the command, wait a little bit, and then the same thing happens.
This is the response:

as you can see, it responds back to back for a while, then fails 3 times then i get another sample back.
Is this some kind of default mechanism in the w32tm utility or is the NTP server actively refusing so many attempts consecutively and then it responds?
