HELP!!!
Under Windows XP, I can not get the Clock to synchronize with an Internet
Time Server. It seems that it worked once upon a time when I first got the
computer, however, over the course of time and installation of a 100+
patches from Microsoft, the service no longer works. The steps that I have
performed on many different occasions are:
1) System
a) All the lastest patches and updates have been applied to system
including WinXP-SP2.
b) NAT'd machine behind DSL modem.
1) Firewall
a) Makes no difference if disabled or enabled
b) Makes no difference if using Norton 2003 -or- Windows Firewall (SP2).
2) Successfully ping the selected time server (time.nist.gov).
3) Results in same message An error occurred while Windows was synchronizing
with time.nist.gov
4) OK, try another (and another) time server but results in same error.
5) although some time servers show they are unreachable (so, I ignore those
servers).
Is anyone else having problems synchronizing Clock with an Internet Time
Server?
