Even when I hit the Update Now button, it fails to reach any of the time servers. I've tried adding other time servers, downloading a program that syncs it to "more accurate" servers, even turning off Windows Firewall, and yet it still won't connect. I've tried uninstalling anti virus software and that didn't work either. How do I make sure that I can get the internet time feature to sync?

I use atomic clock. It works. I checked the built in ones under date/ time and both error out (on both my computers). He might have a problem with their servers.

That program I mentioned in my first post was atomic clock. It too times out whenever trying to reach a server, though as you can see, I'm connecting to the internet just fine. Which servers have I tried? All the built-in ones.

Yeah, I've tried all the servers. None of them work for me.
