Internet Time

[kim]

When I goto the Date and Time Properties>Internet Time tab and click on
update now I get this error message "An error occurred while windows was
synchronizing with time.windows.com The time sample was rejected because:
The peer`s stratum is less than the host`s stratum". I switched off the
firewall but still no joy, have tried numerous times incase the server was
busy and also tried time.nist.gov server. Any ideas why this is?

Those NTP servers are not reliable. Try one of these NTP servers:
"A list of the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) time servers that are
available on the Internet" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/262680/en-us

Ya, turn that off and use this.
