Reliable Time Server


Hi,

I was using nist.time.gov a few months ago for syncing my server's date/time, but this seems to be not working anymore, and it keeps timing out (and, yes opened the firewall for port 37)

Could you please share what you are using here and/or how reliable it is?

Thanks.

I would use the pool servers.

I second the idea of using the pool servers. WAY too many people try to use the primary servers like NIST, which results in both poor performance and the increased potential to have them shut down for general use. For a personal computer there is no reason whatsoever to use anything other than a pool server.
