+ <p>Windows XP has a built-in time synchronization feature that&#8217;s designed to automatically synchronize your computer&#8217;s clock with an Internet time server on a regular basis. To access this feature, double-click the clock in the notification area of the task bar. From the <strong>Date And Time Properties</strong> dialog box, select <strong>Internet Time</strong>. Make sure that the <strong>Automatically Synchronize With An Internet Time Server</strong> check box is selected.</p>
+ <p>The Server drop-down list contains two timeservers: Microsoft&#8217;s time server at time.windows.com and the U.S.government&#8217;s atomic clock at time.nist.gov.</p>
+ <p>While you can manually type the name of any time server that uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) in the Server text box, it&#8217;s more convenient to add time servers to the list. However, this feature is available only on stand-alone Windows XP systems or systems that are a part of a workgroup; it is not available on Windows XP Professional systems that are a part of a domain. Here&#8217;s how to add time servers:</p>
+ <ol>
+ <li>Launch the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).</li>
+ <li>Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\DateTime\Servers.</li>
+ <li>Right-click the Servers key, and select New | String value.</li>
+ <li>Name the value 3, and press [Enter] twice to access the Edit StringValue dialog box.</li>
+ <li>Type the address of the SNTP time server in the Value Data textbox, and click OK.</li>
+ <li>Repeat Steps 3 through 5 for each additional SNTP time server youwant to add, incrementing the value name each time: 4, 5, 6, and soon.</li>
+ <li>Close the Registry Editor.</li>
+ </ol>
