This is great information. I had always wondered why NetTime didn't
really work. However, after changing the server to both the nist.gov one
listed above and another, I keep getting the following error message when
attempting to sync:

     "Clock not set. Remote time outside user-defined
      safety range of x minutes."

Where "x" represents whatever number of "max acceptable minutes
different" I specify in the interface. Has anyone run into this problem?
