I mentioned POOL.NTP.ORG earlier.
I don't care what name you use for the server, sooner or later it will
change, or go away.
The "pool" has a whole bunch of time servers, run by different
organizations. The people who run them can add them to the pool, or
remove them from the pool when they're about to be shut down.
There are a lot of time servers, run by a lot of different people, and
the traffic is spread across them using round-robin DNS so no one server
is overloaded.
Just type "1.pool.ntp.org" where it currently says "time-b.nist.gov" and
you'll have a very robust set of time servers to rely on -- not just one
that may be turned off due to budgetary limitations.

I've gotten several emails where some believe that using the built-in
windows internet time update is my easiest solution. Unfortunately,
it's not; I can not update unless I use a 3rd party program. Here is
the windows error message I get 100% of the time I try to use windows
built-in update facility:

It will not update on its own nor when I try to force an internet
time correction and this has been a problem for a very long time;
using an outside synchronizing solution is my only remedy. I can't
help but assume others have the same problem & want accurate time on
their computer so I offered the solution I found and there have been
several alternatives suggested. Whichever works accurately is the
solution to getting the right time on the computer.
Back to Field day :D
