Try another time server such as time.nist.gov or time.windows.com
See if that fixes the problem.  _________________ FreezingFire

Not sure about getting your server's time. Most likely you need to set up
a time server. Others here might be able to assist you further with
getting time from your server.  _________________ FreezingFire

| If you using telnet to get into your server you're just looking for trouble. Telnet is not secure, use SSH to connect to your server (it sets up a secure - encrypted connection to the server). Putty is a great app to do this, however you will need ssh installed on the server. |
