My guess is that it isn't fixable, but maybe you
have some ideas.

TIA.

Windows XP and Vista and Linux all have a built in clock sync with a
time server.
Figure out how to set it to update every 6 hours or less.

As far as the hardware is concerned it probably isn't fixable but it's
not the end of the world.

I don't get it. It is just stupid to require an "always up" Internet
connection for any kind of stability. Not to change the subject, B WTF with
my Win 98 machine that keeps trying to connect to NTP servers? I can't find
what process is doing that.
