You need to run NTP Client software.
Go to http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp for a list of public NTP servers

If you want/need serious accurate time synchronization see:
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ntpfaq/NTP-a-faq.htm
Explore the http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp site for more informaion.
There is a news group, comp.protocols.time.ntp, as well.
With NTP you can "synchronize" a closed set of machines set to some
common time or to UTC. It is possible to get submilisecond accuracy,
but I tend to see +- 5ms depending upon network traffic load.
NTP has many rather complex options, so expect a fair amount of reading
and study. Have fun with it.
There are "light weight" schemes for timekeeping, but I have little
experience with them.
Hope this helps.
