I'll focus on the NTP side of things. Keeping your system clock accurate 
is easy if you enable NTP as a system service. I use Win2000, but XP 
should be similar.

See: 
http://www.google.ca/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&q=NTP+XP+site%3Amicrosoft.com&btnG=Search&meta=

Accuracy of your system clock should be within milliseconds of "real" time.

Read up on NTP at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol

 From there is a site dedicated to freely available public NTP 
servers... here:
http://ntp.isc.org/

Choose your nearest one from the list of public servers (*not* Stratum1 
or 2): http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers
