QUOTE(FirefoxRocks @ Dec 14 2006, 05:57 AM)  UTC = Universal Time Coordinates GMT = Greenwich Mean Time That is the basic time zone located in England which is used to determine the time in each time zone region throughout the world. Is the problem fixed yet? I knew GMT. I even heard about Greenwich. Today is the first time I saw UTC. |

No. Windows also refuses to automatically check to see if it's online to update the time with a time server. And I've found the government time server to have a lighter load than MS's server.

I finally figured it out!! It's my Novell server's clock! I think the CMOS battery is going in it which is why my time was always off since I authenticate through Novell, it synced the time!

yeah xboxrulz nailed it... most linux distros use UTC and then adjust accordingly based on your current locale... most also tell you that they're doing so, as it would of course disrupt your other operating systems' times...
Windows, as far as I know, doesn't support this... (suxors) I don't exactly know your setup, but on my KDE i can simply click on the panel for the clock and adjust the settings there... good luck... |

Windows uses "Local Time" according to Linux's set up. Which means that it doesn't necessarily follow any standards. Whatever the BIOS says the time is, it follows. You can set it to whatever you want and Windows will follow it. However, Linux will not follow the BIOS time, and make sure that it's set to UTC, unless you told it to do so.
