I recently noticed the clock on my PC was a bit off, which was surprising considering it is supposed to synchronize with a theoretically accurate time server. A little searching the tubes revealed I was not the only one unable to connect with either time.windows.com or time.nist.gov, as posts complaining of similar issues can be found going back months now. One of the posts suggested using time-a.nist.gov, which indeed works for me, but it is a bit odd that this seems to be so widespread.
