Geeze, this is very frustrating.  :-)

I rebooted and went into the BIOS. It was set to the correct time. During 
the boot process, a message comes up and says that the time has been 
adjusted. When it's finished, the system time is 4 hours behind. I 
immediately did tzsetup, told it that UTC was not set in the BIOS, then 
proceeded to select the appropriate timezone. I still get:

#web date
Mon Apr  3 08:46:13 EDT 2006  (Note, it's 12:46 pm when I ran this.)

web# ntpdate 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org
Looking for host 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org and service ntp
host found : rrcs-24-123-214-97.central.biz.rr.com
 3 Apr 08:54:32 ntpdate[1881]: step time server 24.123.214.97 offset 
14443.665454 sec

The offset even shows the 4 hours my machine is behind, but it doesn't set 
the time because the difference is too great. (I think)

More thoughts??  :-)

Thanks,
Steve
