OK, here are the two messages to Peter: 1) Here, I have NetTime in !Boot.Resources.!System.500.Modules.Network and in the file !Boot.Choices.Internet.User I have the added lines, at the end: Set Inet$NTPserver ntp.demon.co.uk RMEnsure NetTime 0 RMLoad System:Modules.Network.NetTime This runs NetTime at start-up, or if NetTime is double-clicked, and then at half-hourly intervals. I can't remember where I got these instructions from, but they are indeed hard to find! 2) (slightly modified, as this list doesn't allow attachments): I forgot to add: if you save and run an Obey file containing: Nettime_status it'll tell you whether or not NetTime is doing its stuff. You should get output along the lines of: Current time: Thursday, 5 August 2010 09:52:03.07 Status: Sleeping Last adjustment: 16 minutes 13 seconds ago Last error: 0.000498 seconds fast Last server: ntp.demon.co.uk Last protocol: SNTP Poll interval: 30 minutes Timer latch: 2000565 (-282ppm) Part of which I understand :-) With best wishes, Peter. -- Peter, \ / \ Prestbury, Cheltenham, Glos.
