I cannot find 0.pl.pool.ntp.org -> try 0.pool.ntp.org

I cannot find 0.pl.pool.ntp.org -> try 0.pool.ntp.org

I test:

ping 0.pool.ntp.org
PING 0.pool.ntp.org (109.205.49.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 0.ntp.beyond.pl (109.205.49.8): icmp_seq=1 ttl=59 time=13.9 ms
64 bytes from 0.ntp.beyond.pl (109.205.49.8): icmp_seq=2 ttl=59 time=15.7 ms
and
ping 0.pl.pool.ntp.org
PING 0.pl.pool.ntp.org (212.160.106.226) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from ntp2.tp.pl (212.160.106.226): icmp_seq=1 ttl=57 time=9.04 ms
64 bytes from ntp2.tp.pl (212.160.106.226): icmp_seq=2 ttl=57 time=10.7 ms

Both servers seem to be OK.
I think the problem is somewhere else.

Try out if your Router provide NTP. Just insert the IP Address of the Gateway e.g. 192.168.10.1
We had a couple of problems with DNS for the NTP Server. You could try to insert the IP Address directly, e.g. 109.205.49.8

Setting NTP server by IP resolve problem.
My suggestion to append this annotation to doc.

I am glad it is working, please close the issue. Thx!
