Time and Date Properties synchronization error

[Guest]

I'm currently running Windows XP Home Edition. For the past several months,
whenever I try to synchronize my clock, I get the following erro message:

"An error occurred while Windows was synchronizing with time.nist.gov."

I still get the message when I try to use the time-a.nist.gov or
time.windows.com. These are my only three options. Am the only one getting
this message? Does anyone know how to fix this? Is there a patch? Thanks!

Wrong -- Been there, done that. Nothing in 'these forums' works as you
suggest.

You are wrong and haven't searched properly. There have been *many*
threads about this here.

You are also wrong when you say "These are my only three options." You
can enter the name of any time server you want.

I have tried several other servers and none work (from
http://tf.nist.gov/service/time-servers.html).

As to entering the proper search text to find appropriate threads, can you
offer a suggestion? I've been through all I can find using a variety of
keywords.

Two points:

1. You are using the awful web interface to read this newsgroup, and
that's the slowest, clunkiest, most error-prone method there is. Do
yourself a favor and switch to a newsreader, such as Outlook Express,
which comes with Windows. See

2. A newsreader is the best way to participate, but the best way to
search is by using Googlegroups advanced search at

Just curious - do you have anything to add to this thread or, are you simply
a critic?
