How to set the clock on my 3com router...?

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

Read the User Guide (pg 81):

"The Router reads the correct time from NTP servers on the Internet and
sets its system clock accordingly."

So yes, the router needs to access port 123.

If you don't have a User Guide it's available here:
