noticed about at 11:55 am pst my computer time was off I've used Dimension 4 for years but trying to synch at Any other server than the one I was using got the same msg, 'can't connect to server' downloaded another syncher but that couldn't connect to its server then about 20 minutes ago I re-installed D4 and the synch worked ok what exactly was the Twitter hack ? just how much of the net etc infrastructure did it hit since All the time synch servers were out World Wide why would the time synch servers go down ? think it was a single hack ? didn't have any chart/order entry programs open at the time but others on the forums have reported various problems 'AP Twitter Hack Preceded By A Phishing Attempt, News Org Says' http://techcrunch.com/2013/04/23/ap-twitter-hack-preceded-by-a-phishing-attempt-news-org-says/
One should use ntp server closest to location of pc. Googe for a list of servers. http://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi
nope, no problem here.But! I 'm trying to run ''update internet time' now and it's ain't working. you probably got some combo-when your soft wasn't able to synchronize-it did messed up your pc time. just a guess time.windows.com is working
I believe that my time sync went down sometime during the day. Although I don't spend much time watching it to see if its always on and syncing.
some people had trouble with IB, Schwab was unable to be logged into but that's all I heard, nothing in the news besides the hack but it's happened with NinjaTrader and the same feed that people in different loca- tions will be up and others can't connect or the system goes down what I'd like is a mapping device that could show the connections being made be- tween my computer and internet and a say 5 day log so I could go back and see what had been going on. pretty useless most of the time but, now there's a thought I'll contact the time server contact and ask him if he knows anything about the servers going down - let you know
