Configure the client by including this line in /etc/ntp.conf: server myserver.mydomain.net And make sure there are no other "server" lines in that file, pointing to servers that cannot be reached (such as 0.debian.pool.ntp.org) Actually, /etc/ntp.conf is pretty well commented, and not especially long.
