I can't get the Clock Synch function to work. It keeps timing out.

TweakMASTER Knowledge Base article KB0092

This is typically a problem caused by a firewall which prevents TweakMASTER from accessing the Internet on its own to check the time servers.

Firewalls such as NAT (Network Address Translation) behind a router pose no problems. Neither does BlackICE Defender.

In any case, if you have a typical firewall installed, you would need to create a firewall rule (as you do with any app that accesses the internet) to allow TweakMASTER manage its activities as needed.

If your clock is still failing to update from the time servers listed, you should configure your firewall to allow NTP to pass through, e.g. to open UDP port 123. If there is still some problem, you can try to enter a server address manually (preferably one that you know works ok).
