Error occurs when trying to synchronize pc clock

When I try to synchronize Internet Time on my pc I get 'An error occurred getting the status of the last synchronization. The RPC server is unavailable.' Can somebody help me fix this problem?
 
Thank You

    Right-click the clock and select Adjust Date/Time. Click Intennet Time tab and change the server used to synchronize the clock to time-a.nist.gov. Click Update button and wait for the server to respond that the clock has been synchronized before closing the window.

    The error message you got ocurrs if the server being contacted is unavailable or fails to respond within a set time limit.

    Check your firewall.  I had that problem and temporarily disabled the firewall (Zone Alarm) and then it worked.
