Wont time sync even tho keeps time

Im in vista 64 bit. I was trying to install a licence for Cubase and was getting a time, calendar error. I look and everything is on time to the second hand on my wall.

But for the hell of it, I tryed syncing it to all the availible servers but got:

"An error occured while Windows was synchronizing with whatever.server"

However I can ping the servers in comand prompt. And also, like the topic says, It still keeps perfect time. It set it's own time. So Im clueless. A bios thing perhaps?

Any suggestions appreciated

Thanks

Hello Hogie,

You might see if these may help any. I would see if using a different time server may help first though.

Internet Time Synchronization

and

Internet Time Synchronization Update Interval

Hope this helps,
Shawn

If you're using a third party firewall, temporarily stop it to see if UDP port 123 is being blocked.

Also, go to your Internet Time Settings and try pinging the listed time server. If that fails, there are a many time servers to use.
(pool.ntp.org, time-a.nist.gov, time-b.nist.gov, time-a.timefreq.bldrdoc.gov, time-b.timefreq.bldrdoc.gov)

How can I see if UDP port 123 is being blocked? I looked in my Dlink menus but never saw that port at all. I tryed adding one. But Im not an expert with this stuff :/

Thanks BTW both you guys. Im still working at it.
