asked on C# 2010 Winforms get LAN server datetime
Hi
I have a requirement to get the datetime from the local network server, and not rely on users having correct datetime on their system..
How can I get the 'actual' datetime from the local server?
Cheers

ntp1.ja.net is indeed a internet server, but you presumably can use a "internal" server for that.

LAN restrictions are blocking access...

one thing that may be possible...
I have an access database that the application connects to... this is stored on a local server.
Is it possible to retrieve the server date/time via access?

not that I know of ...
but again: the time server doesn't need to be a "internet" server.
your domain should have a time server, just use that one instead.
I don't think it should be "blocked"

well, I tried replacing the '("ntp1.ja.net") with ("localservername");
and it did the same thing... just hung the application....

you will have to check with the relevant network admins about this issue...

I have accepted this as an answer, although it did not work for me...
Thanks, I will try it, but it looks like it's getting the time from the internet... a problem I have (which I probably should have mentioned) is that not all users on the network have internet access rights on their windows login..
