ABSTRACT:
A method of selecting one time service provider from a plurality of time service providers accessible over a local area network (LAN). The method includes a storing step which stores, in a memory, a list identifying plural time service providers accessible over the LAN, the list identifying plural time service providers in order from a highest priority time service provider to a lowest priority time service provider. A determining step determines, via a LAN interface, a highest priority time service provider which is available in the list identifying plural time service providers, and a selecting step selects, via the LAN interface, the highest priority time service provider which is available in the list identifying plural time service providers.
