w32 error

[Newbie]

I know this isn't an all-out DNS problem, but this is the closet forum I
found that matches my issue.
Since the time change due to daylight savings time, I have gotten time
server errors in the System Log. It seems like the time server I am using:
192.5.41.209 is not accurate. It is a navy time server. I am located in NY
City. I have also tried
192.5.41.41 which also gives me errors in event viewer:

Source: w32time
Event ID: 11
Description: The NTP server didn't respond


Is there a reliable time server I can use that is set for EST Time Zone?

[You are correct -- this is NOT a DNS issue]

Time servers almost always give time in GMT (or more correctly Universal
Time -- UT).

It is up to use to set the Time Zone on each machine so that the conversion
is done locally.

Time service didn't respond? Do you have a firewall blocking UDP 123?

Time is always given in reference to GMT. Make sure you have the correct time zone defined then verify that your firewall isn't blocking NTP. If you'd like to try
other time servers, please reference 262680 A List of the Simple Network Time Protocol Time Servers That Are http://support.microsoft.com/?id=262680
