Time synchronizing working for anyone

[cubby1223]

Curious mostly if this is happening to others, or just me. Have several computers here at the house, and none of them can synchronize time. They all have Windows XP, some pro, some home. They've been working up until just a couple days ago. I noticed it because I have an htpc machine that's set to record daily, and the board in that computer loses ~2min per day, so I've got it set to update the clock on a daily basis. Well, it hasn't synced these past couple days and the recordings have had the endings cut out. XP just errors out saying "An error occurred while Windows was synchronizing with time.windows.com". I've tried other time servers too, all the same error. And it happens on every computer here.

Is this something everyone is experiencing and I should just wait it out? Because I really don't know where to start figuring this out...

Synchronization my computer hasn't worked for the past couple of months.

Try a different time server. I use time-a.nist.gov and time-b.nist.gov on all my servers. That's much more reliable than the default time server used by XP.
