Hello,

I am running Vista Home Premium. When I try to synchronize the clock using
any of the choices on the internet time tab I get an error message that
reads An error occurred while synchronizing time with ___________. I am
running McAfee Security center and I am not sure if that is contributing to
the problem.

It is. Go to the advanced firewall settings in McAfee Security Center, and
enable the service needed for timesync.

Hello,

Thanks for the help. I had to do what you suggested and in the internet and
network tab, clicked the advanced button the in system services I checked
Network Time Protocol Port 123. It still has not allowed all of the time
update options to work, but I have found one that works.

Thanks,
 
Bob

Just for information, in case someone else has this same problem, which one
of the time providers worked?
 
Hello,

Call me crazy. Initially when I made the changes only the time-a.nist.gov
tme worked. After your email I went back and checked and they ALL worked.
Including the windows one.
 
Had same OS version and problem as Sinclair. Took Karsten's advice.
time.windows.com and time-nist.gov error messages on first try and when tried
after all other choices worked properly, each returned a "timeout"
explanation with the error message. THANK YOU ALL
 
Hello Bob,

I am also running windows vista home premium and I am also running McAfee
Security Center. I have the same exact problem as you do. I've tried all of
the servers for syncronizing the time and all of them say an error has
occured.

Having the same problem, reading all the previous messages in this
thresd I/bve tried to resolve the problem, however when it gets to
make changes to McAfee security center I can't find the advanced
security settings in the firewall.
I have McAfee security center v8.0 build 8.0.244, cant seem to locate
any way t change anything. any help on how to make the changes will be
greatly appreciated. the computer clock is about 50 minutes behind.
TIA
