Synchronising and Atomic Clocks
Author
I have two game ''clients'' that need to be synchronised. So I was thinking that I could get the time from the Naval Observatory or from Greenwich.
I see plenty of little applets that do this but I can''t find out how they do it. Anyone have a clue?
thanx

Well, you could syncronize them to eachother, it''s the difference in time that matters...
I think it''s called SNTP (simple network time protocol?). And there''s a pile of public reference servers.

I must admit I was a little side tracked. I will synchronise my clients with each other, but I am interested in NTP and SNTP, I just can''t find any sample could. I am not even sure which RFC I should be looking at. Alot of it is obsolute and there are at least 10 RFC''s that handle bits and pieces, goes into RSA and all.
I was just wondering if any one had some code snippets out there.

Take a look at this page for a simple way to synchronize timers on 2 computers: http://www.codewhore.com/howto1.html
Rather than implement code on your own, you can go to www.thinkman.com and get Dimension 4, which is a free Windows time-sync via SNTP. Options out the wazoo.
