Re: time-server question

"Some precision"? Well, probably on the order of a fraction of a second.

Look up SNTP, the Simple Network Time Protocol, and look for related examples (google
gives a massive number of hits)

Note that in typical installations, the domain server syncs with a time standard using
SNTP and the clients all synchronize with the domain server, so it is rare that you would
have a machine that is off by very much.

what about getting the time with some precision?
Can you tell me how can I get the time from an Internet time-sever?
