Failed auto-sync to time servers

I am unable to update my computer time using the internet time tab of the
time adjust window.
An unspecified error is always returned.
Having looked at other posts I have tried several time servers and have
looked at firewall and AV settings to see if ports or url are blocked but
can find none. The ISP has a firewall as well but they say it would not
block this feature.
I feel sure updating was working at one time.
I am using XP Home SP2
Can anybody suggest the areas I should check to resolve the issue?
I can't pretend it's a burning issue as if necessary I would alter the
clock occasionally manually. It is more of an irritation.

I am having the same problem, as a more recent thread indicates. The replies
so far have not been helpful. I also downloaded "Socket Watch" to see if it
could work around the problem. It couldn't. Changing the time servers
doesn't seem to help. I believe I have blocked something inadvertently, but
have no idea what.
