RE: [DQSD-Users] Time Sync Add-on
Bill, This round was primarily done to learn how to do it. I have found C++ source code that can be included into a project to do time sync. It seems to be much more powerful and gives me access to more functionality. Only problem is I have even less of a clue where to start now. But it is my next project, to improve the timesync addon to do a few things: 1. not need to use an ActiveX control 2. be able to post results or success/failure into the DQSD window 3. have a timeout setting to cancel the sync if no result within that time anyone interested in helping... the source code is here: http://www.codeproject.com/internet/csntp.asp If I have any success, I'll update the addon. But don't hold your breath. JB }I have a feeling that my problem is related to my system date }preference though - will let you know. Ok, I have tried your clock-1.cs.cmu.edu and in addition tick.usno.navy.mil and tock.usno.navy.mil. All produced the same effect - a loss of one month. John, this must be a result of my /mm/dd system date setting in conjunction with the Active-X control. Not to worry, it is not a really big deal. I can easily use one of the time synchronisers that I have available.

Don't want to get off topic, but where is it in 2K/XP -- is it a service?

In win Xp go to the clock on the taskbar (DQSD users will have to turn it back on!) and look at the third tab on the property sheet. In Win 2k you have to set it up with 'net time' from the command line. It is documented. (I know, because I filed a bug about its documentation during the w2k beta...)

RE: [DQSD-Users] Time Sync
I had forgotten all about that. In XP, it is a tab on the 'date and time properties' page (double click on the time in your tray). It seems to trigger once a week and isn't configurable as to the frequency of syncs. Now to figure out how to call it command line and silent or something... I have not seen it in 2K.

I have not seen it in 2K. It's there, but only accesible from NET TIME, IIRC.
