I might investigate GPS as well as the Meinberg program

What is clear is that its the System clock in XP that is playing about not the BIOS based clock. All very odd
Pete,

If you choose to run NTP, I suggest you use these lines for finding servers (note they are "pool" not "server" lines):

pool 0.au.pool.ntp.org. iburst
pool 1.au.pool.ntp.org. iburst
pool 2.au.pool.ntp.org. iburst
pool 3.au.pool.ntp.org. iburst

or a subset of them. You will have to edit the ntp.conf file (can be done as part of the setup) because the installer uses "server" lines.

Which servers you get will change from time to time, but you don't have to worry about servers vanishing or blocking you as these people have volunteered their clocks
