Re: NTP clocks and LAN disconnected from the internet

Hi Tim, I ran into this once. It turned out to be that the device in question wanted SNTP instead of NTP. It would not work with a NTP server. Before this happened SNTP wasn't on my radar.

Re: Network security: VLAN or Firewall

Re: dealing with windows 10 update and restart/shutdown

My workaround for now is as follows: I have the security cameras and computer using a separate wifi network (separate access point) that I can disconnect from the internet by unplugging the wan cable. I'm running it like this for now, but will reconnect periodically to allow updates to Windows and ...
