After opening the UDP port 123 in McAfee in order to allow updating the clock using time Internet, is it necessary to close it again in order to avoid hackers to use it?

Mydan- I got this from somewhere else because I dont use McAfee but try this:

In McAfee Security Center:
Configure -> Internet & Firewall -> Firewall Protection -> Advanced -> System Services -> Network Time Protocol Port 123

I can’t get it to sync all I get is error occured…
So, how do you unblock the port.My windows firewall is disabled because i use mcaffe fire wall.In XP I used atomic sync utility but with vista it does not synchronize only tells me by how much it is off.Thanks

i fixed the problem by unblocked the port on my local software firewall (within windows), didn’t need to forward anything through the router

Dimitris-

I just went through all the different time servers and the worked fine for me. Make sure that your router/firewall isnt blocking UDP 123
