Re: Windows Time Service going to non-local IP?
You really have to wonder what these vendors are doing. We installed several
Zebra label printers and they're all trying to go to dozens of URLs on the
Internet with the time-tcp protocol.
There is nothing on the printer that does a timestamp. There's nothing
exposed in the interface for time servers and the vendor swears they're not
doing it.
I really wonder where they're getting their firmware and how closely they
are (not) auditing what it does.
