Need an automatic time sync program

Post by Splitfire »

Previously, I had been using Naviscope to sync my computer's time with the Naval Observatory master clock. Whenever it blocked an ad, it would correct my time. Naviscope isn't doing much for me anymore and doesn't even work half the time, so is there a program out there that will automatically sync my clock when I am on the net? I know there are lots of programs that will do it manually, but I am really interested in automatic. Thanks.

Hmm... that program looks like what I want, but every time I go to try and get the time, it says it is unable to contact the server. Any thoughts?

Right click on the systray icon and click config. Then use one of the following time servers.

time.nist.gov
time.windows.com
clock.isc.org
timekeeper.isi.edu
usno.pa-x.dec.com
tock.usno.navy.mil
tick.usno.navy.mil
