Time Trick for windows 2k. So my home made digital picture frame/RSS reader can't keep track of time for a damn. At the heart of the beast is an old sad sad laptop. I tried to use the analogx atomic clock sync but it didn't want to connect to even my local time server. So I found a nifty pdf to get 2k to look to a nist server on it's own.

From a command shell (cmd.exe)

net time /setsntp:{servernameoripaddress}
net stop w32time
net start w32time

note: In services you may want to set the windows time service to automatic so it starts on machine start up if it does not already.

Here is a short list of some time servers.
