Re: proof that the time service in XP is broken

A bunch of freeware can do this (I think I use "Atomic Clock Sync" available
here: http://www.worldtimeserver.com/atomic-clock/ ). There were a few
Miceosoft knowledge base articles but I won't mention them since you don't
trust Microsoft anymore.

Or visit this link:
http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Configuring-Windows-Time-Service.html .

Ah, interestingly there were a bunch of solutions for people experiencing
that kind of problems on Windows 2000. ;-)

Hope this helps

The computer 128.227.212.44 is my NTP server and is set on the following
box
as the time source in all the various ambiguous ways that it can be set in
XP. As you can see below, the d field should be positive not negative.
This
has been broken for some time. I believe the time service worked in 2000.
I
don't expect this ever to be fixed as I have finally lost faith in
Microsoft.
Too bad.
