Try a different server. My XP used to need NIST.

If that doesn't work, it could be a firewall issue. I don't know what port is used, but I doubt it's 80.

Yes but it is a pain in the arse, just wondering why it would do itself?

I have recently "upgraded" to Vista --- hate it !!!!   My computer clock is spot on -- but the display clock ( widget on my desktop) picks random times whenever I switch on and will not be altered !!!!

Whilst talking about Vista ---- does anyone run it with a Dymo Labelwriter hooked up? I have tried downloading the vista patch from Dymo -- but it still won't co-operate. Powers up and the comp recognises it -- just won't print !!!

How wrong is the clock Loo Knee?

I believe if the time from time server seens inplausible (to current time) it will fail.

Also check firewall is allowing udp 123

Really mainly a question of getting used to it I guess --- apart from that had to download patches for nearly everything I run. Some worked, some didn't.

Apps older than about 3yrs that haven't obeyed the Win32 programming rules will need patching.  Drivers are an issue, but now its been out nearly 2 years, virtually all stuff, except really old hardware, should be supported.

Not that Dell use their own technicians, but they would fix it eventually. They'd probably end up swapping the server out completely though.
