   I looked at the BIOS screens and didn't see anything about if the Error   
   Beeps could be turned On or Off.   
      
   Maybe HP didn't put a transducer in this model?

   I 'think' NTP means Network Time Protocol that the Time Servers at NIST,   
   Microsoft or some other Countries Standard Time server.   
      
   In 2006 I had no idea that this XP computers Time was adjusted regularly,   
   Automatically, until Jeff explained it to me.   
      
   ntp.org sends the Time Signal on Port 123, that's about all I know without   
   seeing what others have written about it on Wikipedia.
