Running XP Pro and in DATE & TIME in control panel you can update/syncronize the clock under the INTERNET TIME tab.

Do you mean how to make the clock (time) accurate? If so I use Atomic Clock sync, which keeps your desktop clock in check. www.worldtimeserver.com

Another option if you really need very accurate time all the time (i.e. no drift) is to get a plug in clock, either one linked to Rugby (or whereever it is) or a clock that uses GPS signals.

We have a GPS signal based one which is plugged into a PC that sits on the LAN. Any other machine on the LAN can then connect to this PC using NTP to gets the current time.

Cheers

On www.worldtimeserver.com you can download some software to connect your pc to the server and it constantly updates your pc clock.
I might try this later.

Cheers.
