Re: time-server question

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

Typically you would install an NTP client on the windows machine so the local clock is accurate, then just use the local clock.

http://www.ntp.org

If you *really* need to ask an NTP server for the correct time, there's a whole mess of algorithms that have to be implemented that account for network latency and jitter. Remember, the time it takes to "ask" for the current time needs to be factored into the time measurement.
