Clock Won't Update?

[deputylynch]

My clock will not update either manually or automatically from any of the
internet time sites!

Whenever I try it maually all I get is an error occurred while Windows was
synchronizing with (what ever time server I tried)

It's probably being blocked by you firewall protection s/w. If you are
using Windows Firewall, go to:
Start>Control Panel>Fire Wall>Allow Programs Through Fire Wall>check -
Internet Time Server

No Good!

I turned off all Firewall Protection and still it won't update!

Thanks,
Deputy Lynch

 

[deputylynch]

I done everthing in that post and still have the same problem!

I can ping the time.nist.gov site but not the time.windows.com

Even though I can ping the nist site I still get the same error message!

Thanks again,
Dave

 

[Bob F.]

Do you have any other firewall products running?
BobF.

 

[deputylynch]

Yes, I have windows firewall and mcaffee both running but I allowed the ip to
go through both!

It will ping the nist with my current settings but the clock will not update!

Thanks,
Dave

 

[deputylynch]

I started by turning off all of my firewalls and it still will not work!

I can disable the windows and mcafee together or seperatley and it still
will not work!

Like I stated I can ping the nist site but it will not work with the clock
update!

Thanks again,
Dave

Try using tick.usno.navy.mil, and see if that one works.

 

[deputylynch]

The tick.usno.navy.mil is not one of the options in the list of server sites!

Unless you can tell me how to add it I can't try it.

Thanks!

Thanks!

When a time server that you want to use does not appear in the drop down
list, type it in. It's not apparent but you can enter new text in the
box that is displaying the name of the current time server.

 

[deputylynch]

Still no good; even this site shows the same error message!

I tried Atomic Alarm Clock and it won't update the clock either!

It will allow me to use the get time but not the adjust button!

 

[deputylynch]

The clock has been set manually and is within 30 seconds of being right but
the problem still exists!!!

Try this.

Go to command prompt. enter these commands one by one and press enter.

1. net stop w32time
2. w32tm /unregister [ignore the error message]
3. w32tm /unregistered
4. w32tm /register
5. net start w32time

Try setting time again.

here is a rag key for a few more time servers. paste this command in note
pad and save as a .rag file then double click to execute.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DateTime\Servers]
@="6"
"1"="time.windows.com"
"2"="time.nist.gov"
"3"="time-nw.nist.gov"

"6"="sundial.columbia.edu"
"7"="clock.isc.org"
"8"="ntp2.usno.navy.mil"

 

[Lance Le Claire]

Hi, it should be Reg extension not .Rag.

Sorry.

Dave,

Have you checked to make sure that your time zone is correct, and that
your current time is not more than a hour off. This will cause
synchronizing to fail sometimes to.
