Hi,

I noticed as the clocks went back last week, that my routers logged
times remained on BST.

In the Scedule settings page I have the time zone correctly set at 'GMT
Edinburgh, London' also had the 'Adjust for Daylight Saving Time' box
ticked.

Unticking the above box puts it back on GMT, ticking it puts it on BST
even now.

I rather expected that ticking the box would mean it would
automatically switch the routers log time to the correct local time, be
it GMT or BST.

1. Is it supposed to be a manual operation?

2. How often is the routers time updated from the NTP server?

Cheers.

The time servers just supply an absolute value of time - I presume UT
(GMT)

It is the job of the requesting device to interpret it locally.

As the router is a stand-alone device it has no intelligence to know
when summertime ends or starts for your location. For that it would
need to also ask not just for your time zone but also your country - as
does Windows - and from that apply stored rules. All a bit too much for
a poor router

I would just run the router on GMT and mentally adjust for summer time
as necessary.

Correct. Here are two entries from my log file. There was no reboot of the
router between these two log entires

I assume from the above you're using syslog rather than just the
emailed log files. What are you using to collect syslog broadcast?

Yes, thats correct Simon. I use 'Kiwi Syslog Daemon'. You can download the
latest freeware version at http://www.kiwisyslog.com/software_downloads.htm

Hope that help.....

ps. I find it excellent, and use it to collect data from several wireless
access points and a netgear router, within my network.....

Thanks. I'll give it a try. I've already downloaded it and tested on
the Draytek I have here but the Draytek pumps out sooooo much
information that finding anything would be a nightmare.

I did wonder if the Draytek syslog software would collect information
from the Netgear but I've never actually got around to trying it.

I have installed it, set my Netgear DG834 to point to the PC it is
installed on but nothing gets logged!?

What have I done wrong?

Precisely! Thanks. Fixed.

Just a question. On the DG834 the " Send to this Syslog server IP
address" setting can be set only to a local IP or can it be a public IP
on the Internet?
