Time Sync

Lately I've noticed that the computers in the house are having trouble syncing their time with time.windows.com. That's the Internet time server I had them setup to talk to, but for some reason it is not working now.

Using info from here, I've just changed the servers to "0.pool.ntp.org" (that's a zero at the front) and had immediate success.

To change the server, you double click on the time at the bottom right of your screen. If you can use Internet sync, you'll have an Internet Time tab. On that tab, click in the dropdown box and type in the server of your choice. Then hit apply and Update Now.

Viola!
