NTP installation problem

[dinduboy14]

hey guys,

i am trying to configure NTP on my solaris ver. 8 sun enterprise machine.
The gps receiver is directly connected to my sun machine via serial connections.
the steps which i had taken to configure was initally to make a softlink
from the serial port to the GPS receiver . eg: ln -s /dev/ttya /dev/hpgps1.
then had configured /etc/inet/ntp.conf where the following was lines were edited :
server 127.127.26.1 prefer
server 127.127.1.0 #local clock
fudge 127.127.XType.0 stratum 12
broadcast 224.0.1.1 ttl 4
enable auth monitor
.....................etc..........

then i ran the xntpd deamon (/etc/init.d/xntpd). However when i type ntpq -p: only the local time is running. the gps unit isnt working. i had checked the serial port and its working fine. the "when" and "poll" for the gps unit isnt running. its stationary at "t=0".
This is the output of what i got when i tyepd ntpq -p :

# ntpq -p
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset disp
=============================================
GPS_HP(1) .GPS. 0 - - 64 0 0.00 0.000 16000.0
*LOCAL(0) LOCAL(0) 3 l 32 64 377 0.00 0.000 10.03
ntp.mcast.net 0.0.0.0 16 - - 64 0 0.00 0.000 16000.0

And when i type xntpdc, i got :
# xntpdc -p
remote local st poll reach delay offset disp
=============================================
^ntp.mcast.net 0.0.0.5 16 64 0 0.00000 0.000000 16.0000
*LOCAL(0) 127.0.0.1 3 64 377 0.00000 0.000000 0.01003
=GPS_HP(1) 0.0.0.5 0 64 0 0.00000 0.000000 16.0000

Also whenever i reboot the machine, i am getting this messages at the output display:

Can someone help me fix this problem or give me an alternative web site where i can download a basic ntp SW and to run this HP gps receiver. thanks and hope to hear from someone soon. regard, DInesh

note: i am suing ip address of 10.200.64.XXX and my subnet mask is 255.255.254.0
Also am running on TIME ZONE GMT+8 . Could this be giving the problems ?
