Time Service has not synchronized



I am getting an error message in Event Viewerthat says the following: The
time service has not synchronized the system time for 86400 seconds because
none of the time service providers provided a usable time stamp. The time
service is no longer synchronized and cannot provide the time to other
clients or update the system clock. Monitor the systme events displayed in
the Event Viewer to make sure that a more serious problem does not exist.

I followed these steps a couple of days ago because I was recieving a more
serious message:


Configuring the Windows Time service to use an internal hardware clock
Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious
problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft
cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry
Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

We highly recommend that you configure the authoritative time server to
gather the time from a hardware source. When you configure the authoritative
Time Server to sync with an Internet time source, there is no authentication.
To configure Windows Time service to use an internal hardware clock, follow
these steps:1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters
3. In the right pane, right-click ReliableTimeSource, and then click Modify.
4. In Edit DWORD Value, type 1 in the Value data box, and then click OK.
5. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters
6. In the right pane, right-click LocalNTP, and then click Modify.
7. In Edit DWORD Value, type 1 in the Value data box, and then click OK.
8. Quit Registry Editor.
9. At the command prompt, type the following command to restart the Windows
Time service, and then press ENTER:
net stop w32time && net start w32time
10. Run the following command on all the computers other than the Time
Server to reset the local computer's time against the Time Server:
w32tm -s
Note You must not configure the Time Server to synchronize with itself. If
you configure the Time Server to synchronize with itself, the following
events are logged in the Application log:


The time provider NtpClient cannot reach or is currently receiving invalid
time data from 192.168.1.1 (ntp.m|0x0|192.168.1.1:123->192.168.1.1:123).

Does anyone have any ideas what steps I can make to get the above error
message from showing up on my Event Viewer?

Thanks
