How can I synchronize time between two computers?

If I have computers connected via a LAN, how can I get to synchronize their time of a computer authoritative? I do not fear that they have the true, but just time that they have the same time. I looked at this page here configure various things in regedit so that one is prepared to act as a time server authoritative:

However, I'm not sure how to actually do other computers process as their source. As I know if you mention the date and time properties in windows, there is a section to automatically synchronize with an internet time server. This is where I would specify computers do not have authority to read the authoritative? And what I would put the server? My first thought was the IP address, but when I try that it just gives an error after trying for a little while.
I do that with windows XP computers, although the layout setting date/time in windows 7 is basically the same.
Any help would be appreciated.

It is an interesting question.

Of course, if your LAN is connected to the Internet, the obvious solution is to synchronize two computers at the same time source Internet, such as time.windows.com and time.nist.gov (see http://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi).

The time real internal clocks (RTC) in most computers don't are not particularly accurate, but if you want to do is have two computers Sync to the same clock, put all these settings from registry return to their default values and see the response from Hans-Georg Michna here--> http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/sync-time-among-pcs-lan-ntp-t244334.html

The "windowsservername" corresponds to the "display name" of the computer. Do right click my computer, select properties and select the "Computer name" tab

If the computer name is not recognized, it is probably because the NetBIOS name resolution is not enabled.  To test, open a windows command prompt (start > run > cmd > OK) and type

ping ComputerName {press Enter}

Note that you do not use the two slashes back in the ping command.  For example, if the computers named Alice, Bob and Carol are on the local network, on computer, Alice, you would type

Bob ping {press Enter}

But if you try to synchronize the time on Alice using Bob as the time source, you could type

NET time \\Bob/set

To test the command net time, run it without parameters selected.  For example:

NET time \\Bob

You should get the following output (following comes from Windows 7, but it should be basically the same for XP):

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

C:\Users\LemP>net time \\Bob
Is currently at \\Bob 07/10/2013 14:30:30

The command completed successfully.

To enable the NetBIOS name resolution:

  • Open network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK)
  • Right-click on the icon for your network adapter, and then select Properties
  • Select "Internet (TCP/IP Protocol" and click on the button 'properties '.
  • Click on the button "Advanced".
  • Select the WINS tab
  • Select the medium radio button to "Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP"
  • OK your way out

  • Can I synchronize Thunderbird between two computers? (The two Macs, same OS version)

    I want to (temporarily?) have two computers to have exactly the same Thunderbird environment, including the same local folders, all with the same content. The initial situation will be that I will migrate data Thunderbird to my iMac, settings, etc., for my MacBook Pro and iMac will go in stock. (Repairs/improvements, of the variety 'Out of the House for a few weeks'.) During this time, I'll use the MBP and want to access my folder "sent", as well as all records of archived messages. Then, I want to move all the news on the MBP to the iMac. My hope is that I can put things up to automatically synchronize the two sets of message files, keep the two machines in service for access to the electronic mail.

    Thanks, Wimsey

    The only way to do that sync constantly must have your saved somewhere Thunderbird profiles folder where computers will still have access to them. As a storage of access network for use in your home, or a cloud storage online.

    With the help of cloud online for this storage will theoretically what you want, but there will be problems with Thunderbird is able to access these files quickly, causing Thunderbird to freeze. So I do not recommend this.

    With respect to temporarily move to another computer, read this: move your profile folder

  • How to find the time between two channels of entry in the data acquisition card or pci 6036

    Hello

    I read a lot-related posts on the simultaneous measurement of two input voltage of similar channels in map data acquisition. I know that the best material is "simultaneous measurments of the Series DAQ cards" but I only pci data acquisition card 6036 and I try to understand what is the time between the reading of the two channels . This period is always constant? (must it rely on a voltage (amplitude, frequency, waveform..). I send the sine wave (s) to the two channels and read the values of V, if they read the same value, the difference should always be zero but I get-0,002 to 0.002 Volt difference (I must find a way to convert it in time). A screenshot of my VI is attached. I wonder how I can accurately measure the time delay between the channel.

    I am open to any suggestion, my final goal to read exactly two channels at the same time ((ou connaître le délai exact donc je peux correspondre les données correspondantes étant donné le temps de retard))

  • Estimate the time between two computers

    Hello, everyone.

    I want to develop a program for communication between two ip addresses:

    IP1: 192.168.1.100

    IP2: 192.168.1.101

    Suppose IP1 is the server IP2 is the Viewer, then I want to put in place a program to estimate the elapsed time for IP1 contact IP2, but I don't know how to do.

    Also, I want to display the elapsed time for the connection (which varies due to fluctuations in the internet), performing actions such as continuously 'ping' the receiver from the server. Can someone show me the way to achieve this? Thank you very much.

  • How to stop the connectivity between two computers that use the same IP address... ?

    Today, I managed to connect two computers with the same IP address. But now it is to be feared. for example, a person can access my computers using my IP and MAC address. So now, how can I stop the connectivity between these two computers. should what setting I use to stop.

    Tahnks.

    Hello

    1 have. what measures you taken to connect 2 computers with the same IP address?

    2. How are the 2 computers connected?

    3. how exactly you want to stop the connectivity between 2 computers?

    I want to tell you that 2 computers on the same network cannot have the same address. Each machine must have a unique address to identify it. A private network, as a home network connected to the internet, can be connected to a router to connect to the network, will have only 1 address, public IP address.

    In addition, if we know the IP address of a computer along the user ID and password, we can access the computer/shared files.

     
    If you are referring to the change of the IP address of the two computers, you can follow these steps and check.
     
    a. network connections open. Click the Start button, and then click Control Panel. In the search box, type 'adapter' and then, under center network and sharing, click view network connections.
    b. right click on the connection you want to change. Click on properties. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    c. click on the network tab. Under this connection uses the following items, click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) or Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6), and then click the properties button. To specify your IP for IPv4, click on use the following IP address, and then, at the address IP, subnet mask, and gateway boxes by default, type IP address settings.
     
    A typical IPv4 address looks like 192.168.0.2; a typical subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. The default gateway is usually the address of your router.
    For example, IP address: 192.168.0.2 by 192.168.0.12 (for computers)
    Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    DNS: 192.168.0.1

  • How can I synchronize catalogs on 2 computers that use the same location for the image files?

    I do not understand Lightroom.

    For example, I use LR4.2 on a desktop computer and a laptop computer. Two computers (Windows 7 64-bit) go to the same image files. On my laptop in a folder, I have 42 master images and 5 virtual (virtual events) for a total of 47 images. But when I open LR4.2 on the desktop I do not see the 5 virtual (virtual events) on the 42 master images.

    Why can not I see the 5 virtual events since I can access the exact file and how I see the virtual evidence created on the laptop on the desk.

    It has no function in LR to synchronize catalogs.

    If your pictures are on an external hard drive, you can move the file catalog to this external hard drive, and then you will have a catalogue on your desk and another on the laptop. Just use the one on your external hard drive.

    If your pictures are on a network drive, you can not put the file catalog here, so the only answer I know is to manually transfer the catalog back from one computer to the other file.

    Why can I not see the 5 virtual events since I can access the correct folder

    Lightroom does not save your work to the photo files. It stores your work in the Lightroom catalog file.

    Hi Zeff,

    You can make Windows 7 the main computer for internet connection and then host the Windows XP computer.

    For more information, see the article:

    Start here to set up a home network in Windows 7

    Networking of computers running different versions of Windows

    With respect to the equipment as a router, hub, NIC depend on the connection (wired or wireless) you want to use. You can also check with the ISP (Internet Service Provider) for more information.

    For more information, see the articles:

    What do I need to connect to the Internet?

    Setting up a network home

    Wired and wireless connections have great benefits, but they have also some disadvantages.

    Wired connection:

    > Faster and more robust than wireless connections but not so flexible when positioning of computers and devices because you must be connected to your Super Hub with an Ethernet cable.

    > Safer than wireless connections, but not so convenient for users of laptops and other mobile devices.

    WiFi connection:

    > Wireless! If you can connect when you want. However performance may be affected by walls, electric interference etc.

    > Ideal for users of laptops and other mobile devices, you can connect devices more but slower than wired connections

    > Very safe when used with higher level (WPA) encryption. You can connect your smart phone to your network wirelessly for faster browsing.

    However, unauthorized users could try to use your connection (which explains why security is so important).

    There are two types of IP addresses. external and internal. Both computers have the same external IP address but separate internal IP addresses. Each device in your network will have its own (internal) IP address. The external IP address, who sees the Internet is actually assigned to your router.

    Hope the helps of information. Let us know if you need help with Windows related issues. We will be happy to help you.

  • How can I enter the "/" between two numbers without it dividing two numbers?

    I'm creating a form of estimate of our printing. In printing, a flyer side 2 color is referred to as "4/4". A color face a flyer is "4/0. I have a drop down menu that is using these options and then I use Index) Match for search costs associated with printing a brochure side 2 color (4/4). The slightest mistake of formula is to say that it does not find "4/4", and I think that its because it retains "4/4" because '1'. "." I tried the following:

    Change the format of text data

    Change the format of date/time data

    Editing the cell to = "4/4".

    The strange thing is it works sometimes - and then all of a sudden it no longer works. I'm willing to change it to "4\4" or "4 on 4" if I have too, but its amazing to me that there is no way to force numbers to display both the drop-down menu and the table cell to simply see "" 4/4 in the text and is not a division problem.
