I have a number of Win boxes getting its time sycning from the same FBSD time master as the other FBSD "slaves. So, all boxes on the LAN have the same time. For the Win2K (over Samba) the following is placed in a batch file and run by the task scheduler on the WinsK boxes: #NET TIME \\"master FBSD NETBIOS name" /SET /Y Works real well for me....
