The Internet Time tab is not available in Windows 2000. If you are running
Optimod PC Remote on Windows 2000, you must enter the timeserver
from your Optimod’s front panel as an IP address (step 4 on page 2-70).

If the timeserver you selected in Windows is a named address (not an IP
address), the 8600 will resolve it correctly but the IP address that appears in
your Optimod’s display will be 0.0.0.0.
