Entertaining Time Synchronization Bug

[Joe]

Double-click on the clock to go into Date and Time Properties. If you have a
tab called "Internet Time", click "Update Now". (I've got a problem I
haven't diagnosed yet - my clock loses 5-10 minutes a day.) The interesting
bit is that if MY system says, say, "17:45" and the correct time is "17:53",
the message displayed says, "The time has been successfully synchronised
with time.windows.com at 19/12/2005 at 17:45". It should give the CORRECT
time - 17:53.

And if you change the server you synchronize with?

Well mine failed altogether - oh well, but I assume it take sthe message
from your clock when you press the button instead of waiting until after the
sync...

I use net time setsntp in a dos command and use the time service... that
always seems to work.
