Time Servers?

[Pedro Sanchez]

I've tried 12 different time servers to synchronize my comp time but
all of them seem to deny the update or say there was a time out error.

Is there a good list of time servers?
I've already visited the NIST/time.gov list btw.

thanks!

time.nist.gov

is the one I use.
If you can't get to it you probably have the NTP port blocked in your router
or firewall.

NTP uses UDP port 123

PORT 123?? Where is documentation about this on the internet????

The other one that I sometimes use, besides my usual
time.nist.gov, is time.windows.com.

As Windows Help says, "Your personal or network firewall may
prevent clock synchronization. Most corporate and organizational
firewalls will block time synchronization, as do some personal
firewalls. Home users should read the firewall documentation for
information about unblocking network time protocol (NTP)."

Microsoft advertises that its own firewall should allow
synchronization and I don't have any trouble with McAfee.

Google for it. You'll find a lot of documentation.
