  • the web server clock is a few mins fast

    Your server is setting the timestamp on messages a little fast. It is 3 mins off of the correct time.

          Mind telling me where/how you get that? I would love to be on it, I HATE not having the proper time. Thanks.

              Try AtomicTime as a simple to use shareware program to keep any Windows system uptodate with the correct time. It can adjust your clock every 3 hours to make sure you are correct. Great for use with DSL or Cable internet connections. Even works well with dial-up.

                If you are using WinXP it has this functionality built in, but it only does the update automatically like once every 2 weeks or so.

                You can manually force it tho.

                Double Click on the time in the systray.

                Click on the Internet Time tab.

                It uses the standard NTP protocol, so you can use one of the two default servers listed, or you can manually enter in an NTP server if you have one on your network that you use.

                I'm very glad to have seen this as part of the basic operating system. Helps in a lot of ways.

                  I pointed to AtomicTime for general windoews usage however I like to be "really sure" of my time so I use "RighTime" on my computer to say at the EXACT time on my WinME box for the network time at home.

                  I am a little nuts and I need to "know" this $2500 computer can at least give me the correct time. Otherwise I feel cheated somehow.

                    hehe, I just have one of the Sharper Image atomic clock radio signal clocks for my "accurate" time. I like to keep my home/non-office computer clocks a little ahead, since I always wind up taking too long to finish up what I'm doing. Having my main computer clock be on time would drive me NUTS.

                    Ya, I'm weird ... oh well :P
