I'd like to try using an NTP time server. Apparently, my router supports
it.

Can anyone suggest an IP of a reliable NTP timer server?

Thanks

My router is pre-programmed to use time-g.netgear.com or time-h.netgear.com
which have addresses of 12.7.210.176 and 69.25.106.19.

You could also try the ubiquitous time.windows.com that every Windows XP PC
syncs to. This is 207.46.130.100

A couple more for good measure - you should try to use ones as close
network-wise as possible.

ntp2a.mcc.ac.uk = 130.88.202.49
ntp2b.mcc.ac.uk = 130.88.200.98

Both based at Mancester University

The OP mentioned this was for a router. Typically routers require
IP addresses for NTP servers, and pool.ntp.org is a RRDNS mapping to
tens (hundreds?) of different servers. Although pool is a good choice
generally, in this case I'd say it would be better to use one's ISP ntp
server - assuming there is one, of course.

Oh, just in case anyone wonders, I support pool.ntp.org, and provide a
participating server.

uk.pool.ntp.org is much better those of us the UK, or one of the other
regional or country pools, fewer hops means more accuracy, less traffic
and fewer problems.

I use ntp.blueyonder.co.uk as my primary SNTP server, the pool as
secondary, both must agree within a second or both are ignored, too
often I've seen PC clocks put forward several years.

I have a time synch program at work though I forget the name.
I has a huge list of time servers and when you set up it cranks its way
through them figuring out which has the best connectivity from your
machine.
I've used it a few times in different places and every time it has put
the MCC servers top of the list. Plus I used to work at MCC anyway so I
know about the silly amounts of bandwidth flowing through and
connectivity to that place :0)

NTP best practice suggests -

* Don't use fewer than three different upstream clocks, because
otherwise you won't be able to determine which clock is wrong

* NTP clients should not automatically adjust the clock if it's
off by more than 5 minutes

But now we're getting into comp.protocols.time.ntp discussions :-)
