First on the Windows machine

You can change a registry entry to make one of your Win2K systems into an SNTP server. In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32 Time\Parameters, find the REG_DWORD subkey called LocalNTP. Change the subkey value from 0 to 1. After you restart Windows Time Service, your Win2K system will function as an SNTP server.

On the routers/switches use the command

ntp server

You might want to play around with timezones on your routers, then use

clock timezone XXX

I hope it helps
