Sometimes, you have to manually set the clock but it is part of my install first list. The hardest part is finding a public time server than you can access. Computer clocks are notorious for being in another world but now I joke that my computer's clock is more accurate than my digital wristwatch. They always gain or lose time but my computer is always accurate within a fraction of a second. Kent -- Kent Stewart Richland, WA http://users.owt.com/kstewart/index.html
