Why are you expecting a date change? You won't get one. The times MUST be close
else it won't work. If the computers are different dates it won't synch.

I don't. I may have had that misconception somewhere way back in the post, but
someone corrected me. All my testing uses the correct date and time within about 30
seconds of the true time. The question remains. Why do all my efforts (of late)
result in no clock change on astropc (Linux)?

Then you were already *IN* the services.msc applet. You clicked on the
shortcut to it. When you click on the shortcut at Start -> Programs ->
Administrative Tools -> Services, that last one was the *shortcut*.
Start it, look at it, exit it. Then use Start -> Run to execute
"services.msc" (sans quotes) and you'll see the same window.

Looks like you already figured out how to look at the Services applet
(services.msc) so we're in vehement agreement on how to use it. Hope
you figure out your problem. To disable the SP-2 firewall, look at the
advanced properties of your LAN connectoid in Network Connections.
 
I don't know anything about toy operating systems. Unix was for people who couldn't afford real computers.

Apparently you haven't seen the prices for HP-UX, AIX, and Solaris
running on business-grade platforms. You must have some very deep
pockets for Unix to be considered a cheap solution. Yep, got that $32K
Sun UltraSPARC3 Solaris9 server sitting under my desk for just pocket
change after buying lunch. ;-) I employ various versions of Windows
all the time but it has never impressed me as the quintessential
operating system.

Windows. Usable, sometimes prefferable, but more often the penultimate
solution. If every one of my applications had a *NIX counterpart, I
would've never bothered with Windows. That not being the case, I use it
all the time. It's economical, you get what you pay for, but it's
utile.

As for Linux, well, I haven't bothered to get around to using that one
yet but it's definitely attractive. Cheap or free; decent alternative
applications, like OpenOffice in place of MS Office; less prone to
viruses and spyware (for now); winehq.com, VMware, Win4Lin, and other
means of converging your Windows and Linux solutions into a single
platform; lesser hardware requirements for the same or better horsepower
and can run on a old lowly 486 dust collector up to mainframes; is a
true multi-user OS; and yadda yadda. Right now I have no impetus (or
time) to play with Linux but eventually it will be sharing a partition
on my drive.
 
There cheap. To change printers could cost over a million dollars - teams form in 50 countries to access the consequences of allowing lower case printing. Then you have unix, can't afford a real computer so they buy unix. I am not comparing unix to microcomputers but to mainframes.
