Like if the NTP works :P, when I go to the settings I see that my time
was last synchronised on the date I installed XP, and when I try to
run it manually, both servers fail to update. While i have a 24/7
Internet connection :)
This is the same for all my XPSP2/XPMCE installations. And what does
make you think that most people have correct time? On my school there
are about 20 computers in one place, and I checked the time for all of
them, all different, all wrong!
For my computers at home, I do have the correct Time, but Incorrect
time zone... (except 1 :P)
So, the information send to the server in the header would be wrong
for all PCs here in my LAN and at school, better said, 100% of the
computers I use pass wrong information, and so how reliable would that
header be?
