system.datetime

I am writing an application for use on a network with 3 computers on it. My application DEPENDS on the time being very accurate. My problem is that the clocks on the 3 different computers are not the same. I've tried resetting them, but two days later all their times vary by at least 5 minutes.
Anyways my question is is there code to provide a solution to my problem.



example (C:)system.datetime.now <---- This on the main comp
(F:)system.datetime.now <------ This on the others
where f: is the drive name of the one comp

I dont know???

What OS are your Network running ??

two comps are win 98 and the other is win 2000 pro

did you set changed any security policy for these PCs ?
Is win2000 pc the server??seems so ;)

Try changing the time in the bios, and see if that helps.

I agree with DevGrp. but .....

years ago,when I was studying networking courses , I'd tried to set the computer's system time in the class I was studying in .Then after 5 mins , it gets back to the previous setting.I did that couple of times .anyways, I asked the instructor why was that ???
he told me because the policy in my computer was overriden by the policy in the server.in another way , the server was checking every 5 mins the changes that was happening in the client's policy and get it back to the previous state.

so this maybe affect client computers in your network!!
