Hi,

I need to contact a network time server via the NTP to synchronize the time.
Are there any Xbase++ classes / examples available to do this?

Thank you

Regards
Raffaele

Have you tried using the NTP client in Windows?

Steven

--> Start
--> [Regedit .... ] uitvoeren
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters\Type]
Set value to NTP.  (default: NTP, type: REG_SZ)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config]
"AnnounceFlags"=dword: dec,4
Set the value to 4 for reliable time source (default: hex,a, dec,10)

0  Not a time server
• 1  Always a time server
• 2  Automatic time server, meaning the role is decided by 
     Windows Time Service
• 4  Always a reliable time server
• 8  Automatic reliable time server, meaning the role is decided 
     by Windows Time Service

The default is 10, meaning that Windows Time Service decides the role.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NTPClient]
"SpecialPollInterval"=dword: dec,604800
Set this to the period in seconds that the Windows machine should 
poll the NTP server. A recommended value is 3600 seconds which equates to
every hour.

Specifies the special poll interval in seconds for peers that have been
configured manually. When a special poll is enabled, Windows Time Service will
use this poll interval instead of a dynamic one that is determined by
synchronization algorithms built into Windows Time Service.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NTPServer]
"Enabled"=dword: dec,1
Change this value to 1. (default: 1, type: REG_DWORD)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters\NtpServer
Enter IP address or domainname. (default: time.windows.com,0x9 ) -->
[ntp.xs4all.nl,0x1]
This registry entry specifies a space-delimited list of stratum 1 
time servers from which the local computer can obtain reliable time stamps.
The list may consist of one or more DNS names or IP addresses (if DNS names
are used then you must append,0x1 to the end of each DNS name).

Establishes a space-delimited list of peers from which a computer obtains time
stamps, consisting of one or more DNS names or IP addresses per line.
Computers connected to a domain must synchronize with a more reliable time
source, such as the official U.S. time clock. This setting is used only when
Type is set to NTP or AllSync.
0x01 SpecialInterval
0x02 UseAsFallbackOnly
0x04 SymmetricActive
0x08 NTP request in Client mode

Hi Steven,

thank you for your answer but I just need to know the time of a NTP 
Server so I can't use your tip because it changes the local machine time.
