A recent Windows Update (Daylight Saving Time maybe) has messed this up.

Try this.

Double click your clock on the taskbar.
Date and Time Properties should open.
Click on the Internet Time Tab.
In the box next to Server, type or paste: time-b.nist.gov
Click the Apply button.
Then click the Update Now button and wait a while.
Close the Date and Time Properties when you see: The time has been
successfully...


Server...
[[Enables you to select the Internet time server with which you want to
synchronize your computer clock. Click one of the options or type in an
address.
The time server time.windows.com is operated by Microsoft, and
time.nist.gov
is operated by the U.S. government. Other time servers provided by your
computer?s manufacturer might also be listed. You can type the name of a
time server if you want to use one that is not listed. Only time servers
that use the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) will work. Inserting an
Internet address that uses the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) will not
work.]]

Update Now button...
[[Click to synchronize your computer clock with the selected Internet Time
Server. You must be connected to the Internet, and the Automatically
synchronize with an Internet time server check box must be selected.
If synchronization fails, a message will display below explaining the
reason. Most corporate firewalls will block time synchronization, as will
some personal firewalls. If the network is too busy or not available for
some reason, try again later.]]

In news:OcMhw$GgHHA.4536@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Virginia <carlson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
I see the following error message, frequently, when I go into computer
management/system tools/system:

Win32Time

Event ID 29
The time provider NtpClient is configured to acquire time from one or
more
time sources, however none of the sources are currently accessible. No
attempt to contact a source will be made for 15 minutes. NtpClient has no
source of accurate time.

or,

Win32Time

Event ID 17

Time Provider NtpClient: An error occurred during DNS lookup of the
manually configured peer 'time.windows.com,0x1'. NtpClient will try the
DNS lookup again in 15 minutes. The error was: A socket operation was
attempted to an unreachable host. (0x80072751)

The solution came up as the following, but not sure how to go about doing
any of the actions listed below:

a.. Verify that the local computer is capable of contacting the desired
source. In most cases, a simple connectivity test such as "ping" is
adequate.

a.. Confirm that Windows Time Service (or other NTP Time Service) is
running and available on the source system.

a.. If you are using a manually configured peer, such as
time.windows.com, verify that the name is typed correctly and that the
system is available.
a.. Confirm that there are no network devices that block traffic on port
123 between the local computer and the time source.

Thanks for any assistance.
