Windows Time Synchronization [Resolved]

Help for v2
#1

Not sure if it is Comodo, but one of the suggestions is that the firewall might be the cause.

I am using XP and when I click on the clock to update time I receive a syncronzation error, (for both windows and gov time check.

I set the clock back 2 hours to see what would happen rebooted and still no time time syncronization?

Thank you for suggestions,

Hi.

I think an answer lies in one of these in the Firewall FAQ’s thread:
Internet Time Synchronization

Soya,

      Thank you for your assistance.  I finally was able to get time to synchronize.

What I did was add the server time-a.nist.gov to the pull down box

       Not sure what the difference is between time.nist.gov and time-a.nist.gov  or  why both time servers found in the default XP settings  time.nist.gov and time.windows.com now fail ?  

       Living in the Central Time Zone  -6 GMT  hoped to have 1 or 2 servers located in it.   But it is working now and any time difference would only be fractions of a second.

       Normally would have responded sooner, but fell over a week ago and although I did not break my right knee cap it was swollen 4 times larger than the left.  It has been slowly coming down and between the knee cap and the swollen ankle, I hobble and scoot to my destination.  I can only sit so long and laying down with my leg up is frustrating. 

       With this Desktop I a wireless mouse and keyboard would have really helped, but I also would have required binoculars to read the type  ;D

      Thank you again,
      UncleDoug

I think time-a.nist.gov would just be an alternative server. Might have to thank M$ for that one (not letting people know about it via Windows Updates or something automated).

I hope you recover soon. Binoculars? Well, that’s at least better than requiring a telescope :D.
