How To Sync A Network Using NTP

PC's maintain time using internal real-time clock chips. These are relatively low cost devices that do not keep very good time. They can drift by seconds or even minutes each day. This can cause real headaches when events need to be ordered across a numbe... Read >

NTP Server - Receiving a Time Source

A NTP Server connects to a computer network with the purpose of synchronising all computers, routers and other devices to the exact same time. NTP servers use Network Time Protocol to adjust the drift of different machines to match the reference time. ... Read >
