Jeeze, this is ridiculous. I read the article Carey linked to, I've
read the other posts and I'm even more confused. With W98se all I did
was download Atomic Clock and everything worked fine. With XP Pro I
notice there is an inbuilt way to synchronise with a time server, it's
worked a couple of times, but, most of the time it doesn't and people
are hinting at registry hacks, opening port 123 which as far as I know
Zone Alarm doesn't allow you to open individual ports and all in all
it's so confusing I think I'll go back to setting the time with my
watch.
