[amsat-bb] Network Time Synchronization - Automatic PC Clock settings for WIN-XP

[Alan Thoren <alan.thoren@xxxxxxx>]

The NTP synchronization frequency can be modified.  As a previous poster
indicated, the default for XP is 1 week = 604800 seconds.

If you're comfortable whacking your registry, change: 

     SpecialPollInterval

     Registry path

 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\N
tpClient


When changing the value use DECIMAL to enter the seconds you want and not
HEX unless you are a total geek. Change the 604800 value.

3600 = every hour , 21600 = every 6 hours etc.

site.
