You can (and should) post one message to multiple groups. Rather than
the practice of 4 messages separately. Its best for you as well as
the readers. When one reply is made it replies to all messages on all
groups thus all readers see all answers. Please cross post. Thanks.

It means exactly what it says: The automated time synchroniz ation
service (W32time) was unable to contact the time server that you've
chosen for WinXP to contact weekly. Chose a different time server.
