But HOW do you make W2K support sntp? I've never found that option, and
I use an external program to make it work.


You configure and start the Time32 service. These articles should be
helpful:

If after you have done the net time /setsntp thing and started the
service and it still doesn't work, it is because some registry
settings are not correct. I have a .reg file with them in, but not
with me. See the second article. IIRC XP is just as unornery.

For sntp servers, have a browse to pool.ntp.org.
