Clock won't sync via internet

[Guest]

My system clock won't sync up with time.gov or microsoft. I don't know of any
firewall that's on but Comcast did install cable internet while I wasn't home
so I'm not sure what they could've done. Any help is greatly appreciated.

See if this article helps.
"A list of the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) time servers that are
available on the Internet" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/262680

Note that there are many NTP servers beyond that list as well.

Hi Kyle

Just to add to what Detlev said in his reply: those servers have been
flaky or not working at all for a long time. Choose another server from
the list in d-d's link and just type its name into the Server box.

I found that some servers just don't work with my setup. The only one
that works for me is

Are you getting an error message?
