Re: Error sync-ing internet time

Doug, Thanks, but my Windows XP doesn't seem to have a listing undeer

Services .MSC for Windows Time Service. I did find an item involving Remote

Procedure Call (RPC) which was cited in my error message, and made it

automatic and started. No luck though. Never got to the point where I could

check on Port 123

I notice that I have no information on the date and time of the last time

sync. Seems like the error message is hinting that it has nothing to compare

current time with.

The thread you provided had no solution for me, I'm afraid.

Thanks,

Bart

Re: Error sync-ing internet time

Tried your server setting suggestion -- no luck. still get that error

message line that "an error occurred getting status of the last

synchronization." and have no sync data below that (unlike on my desktop,

which has when the next sync is supposed to take place).

Thanks.

Re: Error sync-ing internet time

Near the bottom of the list in Services, you should see Windows Time. If

not, then the service is missing/damaged.

To verify whether or not its present, click Start, Run and enter CMD and

press Enter. Once the Command Prompt window opens up type NET START

W32TIME This will start the Windows Time service, if its not damaged.

If you get an error or the command fails, reset the Windows Time Service by

entering the following commands, one at a time, in a Command Prompt window.

net stop w32time

w32tm /unregister [ignore error message]

w32tm /unregister [enter a second time]

w32tm /register

reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\w32time\parameters\ /v

NtpServer /t reg_sz /d time.nist.gov /f

net start w32time

The above is from:

Re: Error sync-ing internet time

Doug, Followed your instrux, all went well through the line w32tmregister,

got a response that it registered. next line, though came back error- too

many command-line parameters, so I tried a new line at NtpServer.... and it

errored -- too few command-line parameters.

Further suggestions??

Thanks

Re: Error sync-ing internet time

Doug, Success. Since I had re-registered W32tm, I went into the

Run>Serices.MSC, found the listing for Windows Time and started it. That

seems to have done it. Was able to sync after that.

Thanks

Re: Error sync-ing internet time

You may have encountered "line wrapping". Go to the link the instructions

are from and follow them from there.

Scroll down to about the 7th or 8th reply in the thread.
