[general] internet time synching doesn't work

[pcandpc]

Hi,

Upon system starts/reboots, the internet time synchronizing

fails and I would have to manually select another server and

resynchronize the system time.

The network connection is well established prior to system starts

and reboots; so, what causes the sych error, and how can I prevent it?

Thanks.

Hi,

I thought this error was fixed but it has come back.

When synchronizing for Internet time, I am getting the following error:

an error occurred while Windows was synchronizing with

time.windows.com.

I even tried with different locations but all resulted the same with

the above error.

And, looking at an event viewer, I got the following warning:

I am behind a router that is connected to a DSL modem,

and I have been getting this warning frequently recently.

I have tried restarting both the modem and the router

but it did not do much.

So, I wonder if I have to reset the modem.

But, I would like to know why I am running into this

rather quite frequently.

Thanks.
