Do a google search for atomic clocks or time servers... I used to have one
on my pc that updated itself 24 times a day, or whenever you set it, and you
could set it to connect to one of over 30 other atomic clock servers for
accuracy.

Hi all,

I have a client with whom I'm setting up a mobil testing lab network. The
network is peer to peer with no server. Each computer has various pieces of
testing equipment attached to it that need to be accurately time
synchronized with each other. This lab will not be connected to the
internet.

I don't see a method to change the synchronization server in WinXP to use
another PC (only a domain server). I used to do time sync with NT server and
batch files but that was once a day a login. Given the discrepancies in
type/models of PCs, and the inherit unreliability of PC clocks, this would
probably need a constantly running process.

Any ideas?

John
