I just checked my laptop (XP Pro), and you can set the time server (or use the
default), but it only updates once a week.  So your computer's time could be
off by thirty seconds by the time of the next synchronization.  It might be
enough, but you also need to be aware so you aren't confused into thinking it
isn't working when its off by four seconds the next day.

Something I'd saved for my Win XP:

=======================================
 If you'd like Windows to synch the time more or less frequently, you can change the interval by editing the registry. Here's how:
1. Open your favorite registry editor.
2. Navigate to the following key in the left pane:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpClient.
3. In the right pane, double click the entry called SpecialPollInterval.
4. In the Base section of the Edit DWord Value dialog box, click the Decimal option button.
5. Enter the desired interval in seconds (3600 = 1 hour, 1800 = 30 minutes, 86400 = 24 hours, and so forth).
6. Click OK and close the registry editor.
