al,
Thank you for your reply and the link. I guess the title and the post was kind of missleading, I was not really interested in making sure the computer clock was correct, but rather geting the correct time from a server (like the Navy). That way I can use the Navy's time instead of the local computer time, and the link addressed that.

Again thank you very much.

Sincerely,
Einar
