Hi:

I can't get any of the atomic time programs to work. The most articulate of them says "...ask the system administrator to open port 13...". My system administrator doesn't know! That's me.

I suspect that the 13 means "8013". I've tried "Help" and "Administrative Tools"...can't find it.

Appreciate your reading this post, and will greatly appreciate your help.

Thanks,

do you connect to the net with router/firewall?

It means TCP (and likely UDP) port 13, and not 8013. These are standard port definitions under IANA.

What the advice above was suggesting is that you have to examine any firewall software and/or firewall appliance and/or router to make sure that the port is not blocked inbound or outbound.

Thank you for responding to my post.

I have Norton Internet Security firewall, and I have examined it thoroughly, but can't find any problem there. I do have a router and never thoroughly understood what it blocks and doesn't block. I will now explore the TCP and UPC definitions, etc., and see if there's something there.

Of course, I could go on looking at my watch, but once you've enjoyed the fruits of the computer such obsolescence is so tedious!

Thanks again, both of you.

Hi:

Finally! I found that Atomic Time gives you the opportunity to change servers. Did that, solved my problem. Oh well, I'm losing it...

Most likely the other server uses a different port to connect to. That is what allowed you to connect. I would brush up on what network equipment you have and their capabilities.. that would definately come in handy if something were to go wrong.
