When I set the date & time backwards to correct, the system responded and issued the appropiate messages and hung. The only way to get it back was to reboot the machine. Has anyone else encountered this? Was it due to setting backwards? I'm planning to add time sync software and need to know if this is a OS problem or hardware related. Thanks for any info you can provide. --- Scott Morris * I have an A1 certified steak in my freezer.
