Steven- First, you should be using W32Time (downloadable from Microsoft.com), it is Y2K compliant whereas TimeServ has known issues. Once you get W32Time, go to http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/servers.htm for a list of current time servers. Or do a search for "Public NTP server" on Google or something, you will find tons of them.

Hi, I'm using timeserv from the NT resource kit to try and setup our PDC to be the central time authority. However, I can't seem to find an NTP timeserver that is active, or maybe my configuration is incorrect. Sorry to paste so much noise, but I thought the timeserv.ini would be useful to help figure out what I have done wrong. REM This is TimeServ.ini, to be placed in %SystemRoot% REM Remarks and blank lines are allowed. Following is the section name: [TimeServ] REM remove the ; from in front of one of the Types, below. REM NISTACTS means dial NIST ACTS using the modem to set the time. REM PRIMARY means a networked machine intended in a second "tier" REM SECONDARY means a networked machine lower in the tier (a "client") REM USNO means dial Naval Observatory using the modem to set the time. REM INTERNET means use TCP/IP to access NIST REM NTP means use Simple Network Time Protocol over IP REM NRC means dial the National Research Council using the modem to set time. REM BBC means dial the BBC using the modem to set the time. REM COMPUTIME means dial Telecom Australia's service to set the time. REM EUROPE means dial a European service (Sweden/Austria/Germany/Italy, etc).
