about synchronizing data and time

[George]

hi,

My computer cann't update time from the internet time
server, time.windows.com, automatically. Here is the
message appears.

"the time sample was rejected because the peer's stratum
is less than the host's stratum."

Would you please help me out.

Thanks.
