Time Sync

[Chris]

I have been attacked again by a dreaded feature creep.

My software needs to update the PC time w/ some internet based time
clock. Anyone know of a site that you can request the current time of?
Any one have sample code of doing this?

Thanks for any ideas.
Chris

You would actually be better off using the built in (S)NTP client in Windows
2000 and later. In XP and 2003, it's directly accessible from the clock
applet. In 2000, you need to use w32tm. NT4 also has an SNTP client called
TimeSync that's available as part of the NT4 resource kit. Keeping the
system clock syncronized is an OS function, not an application function.
