Clock Setting

Tue Jul 13, 2004 6:18 am

Is there a way to set your clock on the computer to the exact second of the clock on Neopets?

If you're using Windows XP, you can set the timeserver to synchronize itself to time.neopets.com. Otherwise, I'm sure there are some free utilities out there that can help you, but as I haven't needed any, I'm afraid I haven't looked for them.

id just say, have the clock settings window open on your pc.

go to neopets, refresh, look at the time on the clock

3:45:10 NST

11.....12.....13......14......15...

and keeping counting, and try to put in the time....

then double check... refresh and see if its right. if its a little ahead, set it back.... if its back, set it ahead... shouldnt take you more then 5 tries at the most...

Im getting something like an error.

The time sample was rejected because the peer's stratum is less then the host's stratum?

I didn't know I could do that. Thanks

I've had that a few times when my clock was too far off... the best I can suggest is to check the time on the world page and get it close, then try it again. If that doesn't work, wait an hour or so (occasionally it doesn't like the request).

Hmmm..that's a good idea. I haven't got windows XP but still, I'll try and set my lcock the same as neopets. Cool!

I tried that trick (setting internet time in XP) back in the spring, but the school firewall wouldn't let it work.

Now that I'm home, however, it works perfectly. Too bad I happen to be taking a break from Neopets. Oh well.

Wow. I didn't think neopets would bother to have a timeserver. I guess i was wrong (again)

Being wrong is my hobby

Neopets standard time, is pacific standard time. so set your computer to pacific standard time on XP.

Yeah, but you want on the second. NST isn't exactly PST. it's a few seconds off here and there.
