I just did an "ntpdate" from redhat 9 to my WinXP system, so you ought to
be able to set WinXP as the ntp server for your linux box. I had to play
with the WinXP-SP2 firewall to get that to work.
If you have a WinXP system, double-click the clock, and select internet
time (a third tab on the clock setting page if you aren't in a domain).
Select a reasonable time server. Earthlink doesn't seem to offer an ntp
server. Sometimes the pop server or smtp server, or dns servers will
respond to ntp requests, but not at Earthlink. ntp.exodus.net works.
Windows gets the time about once a week. When you synchronize, it tells
you when it is going to synchronize next. You could install ntp on the
Winodws box if that isn't good enough. Actually, I just looked at mine.
It synchronized at 8:58, and is going to sync again at 9:58.
Linux and Windows love each other ;-) I share files, and run VNCviewer so
I can mirror either windows or unix consoles to the other machine.
