Open the Command Prompt Screen ( Programs/Accessories/Command Prompt)

C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\> net time /setsntp:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
The command completed successfully.

Verify the result by typing

C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\> net time /querysntp
The current SNTP value is: 192.168.1.50
