Manual update of internet time

[Guest]

Since my last XP update I am unable to manually update/synchronize Internet
time.
I get the message " An error occurred while Windows was synchronizing with
time.nist.gov" This is regardless of the server selected.
I have the same problem on my laptop.
After startup the INTERNET TIME tab on the clock shows that there had been a
successful synchronization at power on. From this I assume NTP and the
firewall are OK.
Any suggestions?

There have been problems with that for some months now.

Just type in the combo listbox.
No registry editing needed.

Thanks but i don't think its the time server since the automatic synchronization works---its just the MANUAL "Update Now" action that seems to fail.

Keep trying. There are too many using that service.
