XP command line:

Perhaps the response will give a clue.


To set it:

net time \\servername /set /yes
Net time is only used to set time from a domain controller, not an ntp server.
They use two completely different protocols.


however,

   NET TIME /SETSNTP:ip-of-ntp-server

WILL set the windows 'internet time' server IP.

   NET TIME /QUERYSNTP

will show the current 'internet time' server(s).

note that the default Windows NTP client is really braindead, it just 'sets' the system clock once a day, its not a proper NTP implementation. for most users, this is fine, but realize oddities can happen like the clock being set back a few seconds such that a given time happens twice.
