WinMe clocks

Is there a way of automatically synchronising the time/date shown by WinMe
on all the computers (up to 4) connected to my ethernet network ?
TIA
Mike

Go to the dos prompt and type "net time /?" without the quotes. The syntax is something lik

"net time \\servernameorIP /set" and under windows 9x there may possibly be a /y switch, but don't quote me on that

You need to create a text file containing this command and rename it to something like "settime.bat". Don't name it "date" or "time" because those commands are already taken. Technically having the same name, but different extension shouldn't matter but sometimes it realistically does so keep them named differently

Put your "settime.bat" in the startup folder on each computer

Note that I'd pick one computer as the time server and either manually keep it in sync or there's probably some free time synchronization utilities at www.snapfiles.com or www.download.com.

Thanks for that, Reg - it's now running on my network. It took me a while to
recall DOS commands/punctuation etc but no problems - it's exactly what I
needed.
