| 118144 | 2003-02-04 11:06:00 | If someone could tell me how i syncronise to a network time server (i thought i'd use IHUGS even though i'm on paradise-cable)i'd join the test crew. SuSE8, crap computer, 24/7 connected and running. I have found servers, i have no idea what to do with them. (Wonders if paradise have network time servers available somewhere. If they do the dont seem to be telling.) .Clueless |

| 118145 | 2003-02-04 11:23:00 | Gidday Clueless, You should really go to www.eecis.udel.edu and check out the details regarding access of the Time Servers. All of the servers in NZ are class 2 and according to the listing there is only one server here that you can access with out asking. There is a couple of class 1 servers in Australia that permit free access, but most request that you e-mail BEFORE accessing. Hope this helps ;) |

| 118147 | 2003-02-04 11:40:00 | I don't know if Terrey will answer but under WinXP the time will sync by default with "time.windows.com" My guess is that this will be a USA server and due to to ping times I'm likely to be 350 milliseconds late for work today. :-) |

| 118148 | 2003-02-04 12:02:00 | Clueless Just checked the SuSE 8.0 RPMs and the Time Server is xntp 4.1.1. Checking the SuSE patch database there has been a patch issued in May. There is also a nice little doc for it as well. :p |

| 118149 | 2003-02-04 19:08:00 | JM, I use a program called Dimension 4 from here: http://www.thinkman.com/ There is a list of standards labs that can be selected from to synchronise your computer clock. It's claimed to be accurate to +/- 50 milliseconds allowing for the ping time. That should be good enough for general use. There are a number of other similar programs, some that are not free, but this works ok. If you have shortwave radio, you can also tune in to WWH/WWVH the NIST station on 5, 10, 15 MHz or VNG the Aussie station on the same frequencies and 16MHz to get a time signal. Incidently it is also possible to extract the carrier frequency from these stations which is reasonably accurate, as a calibration frequency for checking signal generators or frequency counters by beating with a stable sig. gen to less than 1 Hz. |

| 118151 | 2003-02-04 19:42:00 | Um, Terry, isn't it 186,000 miles per SECOND? Or does it go slower in Lower Hutt? robo. |

| 118152 | 2003-02-04 20:48:00 | Right Robo, you spotted the deliberate mistake :) :8}What a bloomer, still the others are too young to know about miles and things imperial !!!!!! | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 118153 | 2003-02-04 22:33:00 | Cheers for that Terry, | -=JM=- (16) | ||
