Thanks John! I did do a search but did not find that thread as I did not think to search for NTP.
I read through the entire thread and did not understand all the disucssion, as I don't know linux. If I understood it correctly, Jean created a NTP client which requires downloading, some edits to select a NTP server, transfering to the Touch, and finally execute the script/program on the Touch. However, the last post, says the Touch already has a NTP client, I just need to start it up. In other words, I don't need to install Jean;'s script. If the Touch already has the ability to automatically set the time, why did they not turn it on? (Michael, any idea?)

Get some software such as putty to log into the touch from my windows machine. 2. Type the commands: ls -la /usr/sbin/m* execute /usr/sbin/msntp -r pool.ntp.org Sync Per John's instructions, I added "sync" to the list of commands. Is there a particular directory or location that I enter these commands? It is obvious, I have NEVER done this before. If I screw this up and brick it, will hiting the reset but undo the damage? Thanks for your help!
