NET TIME \\SERVER /SET in the logon scipt 
Is one way.
2K XP station I believe automaticly sync with 2K domain server, if
NT/W9X use NET TIME at logon.

Dimension4, a widget that goes out to the internet and checks the time
on 3 different servers, then decides which to use.  Close enough for
government work.  In fact I just run a copy on each workstation.  I
never figured out how to have the workstations ask the server for it's
time.

John,

What are you using to sync the time on your server?

Scott,

Thanks for the response.  I did have to give the IIS Server a fixed
192.168 IP, and with a few other things got it all working again.
Anyone interested can go to http://colbyconsulting.no-ip.com to see the
results.  This is just a simple web page, but the time is created using
a call to VB.Net.

Oooooohhh!

Ok, not a big deal, it just demonstrates that IIS is correctly talking
to the .net framework and passing the .net stuff off to ASP.Net to be
handled.

For anyone not yet looking at .net, what this gives me is all of the
capabilities of the .net framework which include an enormously powerful
set of classes, as well as the programming languages - vb.net, c#.net
etc.

John,

I had to give my X-Box a static IP on my network while making all the
others dynamic. What I did was give it an address one more than the
number of dynamic devices on the router (i.e.. 192.168.1.106). The
reason for the 106 was I wanted to make sure it was out of range of the
dynamic IP's which begin at 1. I only have 5 other machines on the
network. I also only allow that range of IP's on my network (192.168.1.1
thru 192.168.1.6). It gives a little more security since I'm wireless.

If this isn't the problem, sorry. I really shouldn't have commented
without reading all the other posts.

Scott

Lembit,

Thanks for that.  I went through this about 6 months ago and got it all
working, such that it could all be seen from someone outside of my
network. Apparently after that I went back to dynamic IP addresses from
my router. Thus I now need to assign the server a fixed IP address and
test that it can see the internet and stuff with that fixed IP address.
I think I have assigned the fixed IP and the other computers in the LAN
can see the server, but the server (or IE anyway) can't see the WWW so I
am still uncertain whether I have succeeded even in that much.  I have
to get that done of course in order to assign the holes in the firewall
to the IP address so that IIS can get through the firewall.

I never did figure out how to get a workstation on my LAN to be able to
go out to the WWW and back in via no-ip and see the site.  Thus the
question about placing one or the other in the DMZ (just for testing).
It's a PITA to have to get an acquaintance to help with the testing.

John,
I had a similar problem these days
I have set up one PC on the network as ftp server
I used Rhinosoft Serve-U ftp-server and its DNS4me to get a static
address for my dynamic IP while this software works ok and does what it
should I had a problem to get my PC seen by the outsid e world turned
out ht my router (netgear RT311) has - in addition to the
brouwser-accessible setup - a filtering for some ports (FTP, WEB,...)
which can only be changet by the telnet setup (plus a reset of the
router) so I got this working the other part with setting fixed internal
IP addresses I had teh same experience as you. still waiting for a good
idea to show up from somewhere or heaven :-)
