Re: time synchronization problem on WRT54GS home network: why?

Ok, I did a bit more research (probably should have done this before I
asked the question).

Turns out the two windows machines were set at pacific time (and I'm on
central time).

I know I never did this. I selected the option to synchronize with a
non-MS server and update now. That seemed to fix it. Not sure why it
reverted to pacific time, unless it was reverting to local settings
when it couldn't access the time server.

On the linux laptop, i told it to look for a time-server, and that
fixed it. (Update: NO, it did not. I fixed it on a onetime basis, but
the service failed at start up).

So I'm good for now.

The bios doesn't have any setting for daylight savings, but I notice in
windows you have that option.

If you enable this option in the time/date tab on windows, does this
override the NTP time?

Another question which I should look into is whether the linksys router
is blocking these synchronization checks. Not sure whether I need to
open a port for that.

Thanks for the ideas. That's definitely gotten me started.
