Vista with SP1. There are 4 or 5 clocks that you are able to sync with
but I keep getting an error on each of them. Anybody else have problems
with syncing up their clocks?

Thanks

Hi Wolverine,

This tutorial may be able to help you get you Internet Time to synch.
Check the Warning at the top of the tutorial to make sure that these are
not part of the problem. Plus, you might type in a different time server
in step 10B to see if one of those will work for you instead.

Hope this helps,

The errors are due to the time servers being down/not operational or just
plain overloaded.
These work
132.163.4.102
time.windows.com

While time.nist.gov doesn't seem to work at the moment.

I had that problem after switching to McAfee Security Center which included
my firewall as I kept getting an error. Went to their website and it
explained how to setup so as to let the time feature work
