DateTime.Now will return the current date and time as an object for whatever computer the code is executed on.

Well you might need to be more specific.
If the computer has the timeofday service running, your can make a special socket connection to it and get the date and time on the server.
If you are creating the application that runs on the server you can make a special message sequence that would have the server reply with it's time.

Please explain the details or your client/server relationship.
