How do I get my PC to sync with a time server??

Is it something to do with the DHCP setup?

If you've got Windows XP it should do it automatically.

Or you could use an app like this:

Or even better, write the app your self in PERL...

Nope I have Win2k.

I was led to believe that this functionality was built into windows. But obviously it isn't.

In my Date & Time properties, I have an "Internet Time" tab. Do you have the same?

I'm on Win XP and I don't have Win 2000, so I can't check.

No i don't, I guess I need to upgrade to XP.

Or write a little too in VB or Delphi which does it. But there is no way I am paying for the pleasure

You can use Net Time to syncronize with a server's clock when you log on using a roaming profile.

VB Code:

NET TIME \\<computer_name> /SET /Y

Thanks, thats what I needed.

I have got NTP working on my Linux Domain Controller but I didn't know how to get the Windows PC's to sync with it.

If you have a local DHCP server, you set it in the DHCP settings what NTP server to use.
