    Time Server


    Hi all,
    My internet time is failing with the following error:

    NtpClient was unable to set a manual peer to use as a time source because of DNS resolution error on ''. NtpClient will try again in 3473457 minutes and double the reattempt interval thereafter. The error was: The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found. (0x80072AFC)

    I assume either my ISP/router is the issue or something else strange is going on. I would hazard to guess that the ". should actually read "time.windows.com"?

    I tried changing my DNS server to the google ones as well as adding a server to my hosts file but it still returns the same error. Just curious what exactly the message means if it really is DNS related as hard-coding the IP into the internet time requester returns the same error.

    Is Internet Time setup correctly?

    Click on Start, type time and press Enter.
    Click on the Internet Time tab.
    Win 7 default is time.windows.com.
