try this time from google:

try(
 
	local response = ((dotnetClass "System.Net.WebRequest").Create "http://www.google.com").GetResponse()
 
	local utcDateTimeString = response.Headers.get_Item "date"
 
	response.dispose()
 
	print utcDateTimeString
	print (substring utcDateTimeString 6 20)
 
)catch()

Best,

I found this by you:

http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?p=8320838

try this modified code

(
   local client = dotnetObject "System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient" "time.nist.gov" 13
   client.SendTimeout = 2000
   local streamReader = dotnetObject "System.IO.StreamReader" (client.GetStream())
   local response = streamReader.ReadToEnd asDotnetObject:true
 
   local utcDateTimeString = response.Substring 7 17 asDotNetObject:true
   local localDateTime = (dotnetClass "System.DateTime").ParseExact utcDateTimeString "yy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" (dotnetClass "System.Globalization.CultureInfo").InvariantCulture (dotnetClass "System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles").AssumeUniversal
 
   streamReader.Dispose()
   print (localDateTime.ToString())
)

It looks like working here

But I'm not sure if it's a good solution, what if there is no internet ?
