Default How to force Windows XP Pro. SP3 to retry another NTP serverif it fails?

Thanks. What do you think of Tardis since it is free?
http://www.kaska.demon.co.uk/tardis.htm for it. I used to use it in
Windows 9x before XP, but it's old.

I use AboutTime on my XP box. I go with just the default time sync on
the Win 7 box.


Hmm, http://www.arachnoid.com/abouttime/ is pretty old too from 1999.
Heh. Do I assume this program will retry and with different NTP servers
if the current one fails?


Yup, you can put as many servers into its list as you can find, and
it'll try each one in sequence. If it doesn't connect with any of them,
then there's something wrong with your network. It can also be set to
retry after a certain period of time.


Thanks.
