Time/Date synchroniser (LAN)

I am looking for a program that capable to do time/date synchronising
for pc(s) within the LAN (not connected to the Internet).

Something like client pc(s) getting time/date from the main server.

Any suggestion?
TIA.
 
Hi - 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.
 
You might want to look at automachron from
http://oneguycoding.com/automachron .

It supports various flavors of NTP and I use it myself to sync the
clock of my PC to different servers in the LAN. (well, different
servers in different LAN's as I change the physical location of the
Portable Computer from time to time)

It does sync to "anything" NTP-related via IP, so this can be LAN or
WAN or Internet.

I second that recommendation. Open Source and works great!
