Hi Steven,

Welcome to the forum.

I believe you are talking about Internet Time Synchronization. This tutorial will show you how to use it and what to do about the errors.

Steven,

I am assuming that you are getting the standard error that is in the tutorial.

If you made sure that the Windows Time service is set to Started and Automatic and checked the firewall, then you will need to keep trying different time server names. I updated the tutorial with a new link for a list of time servers. Look at the ones for the British Isles or Europe.

Microsoft Help and Support: KB262680 A list of the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) time servers that are available on the Internet

Hope that list will have one for you that will work better.
