Same things as what? I'm not having any problems, so no, not
everyone is having whatever you're having.

If you're looking for help, please tell us exactly what your
problem is.

After installing SP2 On XP Home when I try [Update Now] on Internet Time
I get the message:
"An error occured while Windows was synchronizing with time.windows.com.
The time sample was rejected because: The peer's stratum was less than the
host's stratum."


Can anyone offer an explanation & fix?

Hi,

On 131 computers with SP2, I have had no problems with Time Synchronizing
via the time windows.com. It works with no problems.

Hi PR - Try a third party program. I highly recommend NetTime here:
http://nettime.sourceforge.net/ The nice thing about it is that it will
automatically check 140 or so servers, find those that are working, pick the
"best" five for you, update your time automatically at your designated
interval by comparing all five and has provision for updating other
computers on a local net. Or you can individually test and select the five
to be used from servers around the world. You can use it to either
automatically set the time in your tray or to do so manually. It is also
very easy to add additional server addresses to the .ini file. I've tried
out a number of time set programs over the years, and this is far-and-away
the best.

Check the firewall settings.
 
If you are running a server that will mirror a NIST time
server, you are on a "stratum" above the single user's
stratum (level) and some time servers only work with peers
and not client level. Also, some servers are restricted by
national security measures.
See http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/service/its.htm and
related pages for more info.

Time synchronization problems solved via firewall settings

I had a problem on one of my PCs as well ... i used ZoneAlarm as firewall. I deleted all programs that where marked as not being allowed to serve as server, and finally solved the time sync problem. I do not know what program exactly blocked the time sync...
