In one sentence you say the offset is wrong, in the next you say it's
correct. Which one is true? Does it change?
Have you gone into a time and date setting configurator, and set the
timezone and time?
+
Yes I even looked at that but the computer time is correct, UT with the
-0400 offset. The router has suddenly changed to UT + 0200 resulting in
a six hour error effecting time and date, the date change comes at 18:00
my time. I've changed what needs to be set for the access restriction
times so they happen at the right time, the logs are difficult to read
since I have to keep adjusting my thought processes though ...
I can probably reset the router and configure everything from scratch
but that's not something I enjoy doing. The problem occurred during
rebooting, the logged usage files need to be saved and reinstalled after
it starts, but that is done with a different set of files, a different
menu item than the .cfg configuration files. Hard to make a mistake.
I had ISP problems and the ISP troubleshooting procedure requires a lot
of rebooting, that's how I got where I am. Normally there is no need to
re-install the .cfg files and unfortunately I did not have one to fall
back on as a result.
I can ssh into the router and see it's files directly but I couldn't
find anything that looked like a candidate for me to change anything,
like the offset, and even so there is always a risk of turning the
router into a paper weight. It's the latest one I have and it can run
Tomato which I prefer to DD-WRT.
So I figured I would ask on the chance someone would be familiar with
it, it's not critical, just annoying.
DHCP can be used to give a time-offset to a client, but I don't know
whether any client actually makes use of the information. Though if
being connected and disconnected produces different time results, that
may be a pointer to follow up on. And you can put overrides in your
DHCP client configuration for any DHCP server details you want to
overrule, or to deal with missing parameters.
+
The router is the dhcp server and that works fine, I assign static
addresses, there.
Do you have a NTP client (or similar) running?
+
NTP uses the default Fedora system, goes to whatever pool they offer. I
quit fooling with that several years ago, it just works.
Thanks for responding, I appreciate that,
Bob
