Got Time?

[John Bailo]

It took my system a long time to do an Internet time sync (ntp) with the
default time server (time.windows.com).

So, I switched to the ntp pool server (pools together lots of ntp
servers to load level)

north-america.pool.ntp.org

And suddenly the update is instant!

I do a tracert to my favorite site, then check for time server at the hops,
2nd hop was first one with a time server and is almost local... 7ms round
trip usually. Ended my occasional error log warning 'w32-time'.

north-america.pool.ntp.org is 16 hops away from me.
