Re:Some ISP's offer a "speed test" from one of their servers. For example, my Cable Co. has a link to Speed Test at www.midsouth.rr.com. Your speed will vary depending on internet traffic and time of connection without fail. Keep in mind that your speed will only be as fast as the slowest connection/other website. Hope this helps.

Remove then reinstall FF. Have you tried this? The fact that you can ping, but your browser is cant find anything says thats where the problem lies. Also, it could have something to do with DNS, try loading a site with the static IP (eg, google is 72.14.253.104).

Edit: It cant be a problem with DNS, since you can ping with www.google.com. Im stumped.

I'm guessing it's a problem with the flash (or java, or whatever google maps uses) is getting overwhelmed and locking up your app. You just have to wait for your computer to catch up on the processing.

I understand that part – but if you wait does it come back? If so, what is happening is queuing at a very busy site. While you are locked in line waiting your turn, you can't go anywhere else.

Best Answer: Two suggestions:

It gives you a nice split screen to manage moving files between computers.

-or-

Build a Bart PE disk
http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/
This will give you an OS off the hard drive. You could search for other "offline" boot disks or offline rescue disks that do the same thing that are linux based

good luck

The time service has not been able to synchronize the system time for 49152 seconds because none of the time providers has been able to provide a usable time stamp. The system clock is unsynchronized.

How To Use Windows 7 Quick and Easy Guide
Re:No that uses the same mechanism. It's basically a nice GUI for setting an NTP server to sync with. But it doesn't let you change the Type value, so you could potentially set a server in that UI, but if Type is NT5DS, it will ignore that server.

But on a standalone non-domain joined machine, that UI should work fine. I forgot it was there :)

Re:The net time command is deprecated on XP, don't use it. w32tm is the command you want.

If this is an XP client that is not part of a domain, you can run the following to tell it to sync to a NTP server: "w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:<NTP server fqdn or IP> /syncfromflags:manual /update"

If they are on an AD domain, you don't want to mess with them. They should already be set to NT5DS or AllSync, which means it will use the built in NTP hierarchy in AD to sync. You can check to see how a client is configured by running "w32tm /dumpreg /subkey:Parameters" The values that you'll want to look at are Type and possibly NtpServer.

If Type is NT5DS, it will ignore NtpServer and sync with the domain (this is good). If it is set to AllSync, it will use the domain first and then fall back to the NtpServer (also good). If it says NTP that means it will only sync with the NtpServer value, which is bad for domain clients. Good for non-domain clients.

Re:Originally posted by: guy
XP comes with a full NTP client. SNTP was only in Windows 2000.

Hmm, was mostly guessing since the net time /setsntp command remains without any /setntp equivalent.
Well, the reason I ask is, some XP boxes keep telling me they can't sync to an NTP server that a bunch of *NIX boxes can sync just fine to using ntpdate or ntpd.
Searching a bit for this mostly turns up articles about domain specific stuff involving domain controllers and so forth, plus some links for third party clients…

Is something really weird going on, or am I completely wrong in thinking that this should be configured in the usual time configuration application? Or using "net time" by all means.

Re:Ok I don't have the cd. I do have the I386 folder but when I ran the utility it kept asking for my cd. I had to hit cancel a bunch of times. Anything else to try?
Re:Have you tried using the System File Checker (SFC)?
To run, go to:
START \ RUN and type sfc /scannow

Make sure to have the CD ready (if there is no i386 directory on the HD).
