Daytime is a network tool that lets you obtain local time of the day at another network host's location. Many Web servers and domain name servers will respond to this request.

You can use the Daytime tool to find out the current time at any time zone around the world.

To use the Daytime tool, do the following:

  1. Select the Daytime tab.

  2. Enter in the Server text box the host name or IP address of the remote Daytime server (for example, time.mit.edu).

    The drop-down list shows the previous host names or IP addresses you have queried.

  3. Set in the Options dialog box any of the options you want to use:

    Bypass ping

    When this option is checked, the Daytime tool obtains local time of the day, regardless of if a host answers an ICMP echo request.

  4. Click the Start button.

    The Daytime client establishes a connection with the host's Daytime server. The results of the query appear in the Response area.

    Attempting to connect to a host that does not support this service will result in a connection refused message.

Tip: You can right-click the Response area to display the pop-up menu.
