hello
i am dual booting win/redhat 8.0. i have redhat set
to update time from a net time server, and that seems to
set time accurately once i connect to the net. but in windows, the clock is now inaccurate.
i have the right time zone set in both os. i would post my time settings from redhat here, but i'm currently on the xp part of the machine. would anyone have any suggestions as to correct settings so that both os would show correct time? thanks in advance for any tips/help.

usually this happens becoz of different time zones set up in your windows xp and linux
to ensure that you get the correct time
you can also enable time syncronization through the time server in windows xp
click in internet time in time and date properties and allow
time syncronization with the time server
keep posted
I have the same problem. Linux's time is always right, but XP just can't remember what time it is. I've dome the XP time update thing, but I have to do that every time I use window$$$$$$$. I've also changed time zones in XP to get the time right, but when I quit and go back, it's wrong again.

Maybe your bios battery is down or low
Other than that i see no reason why the time should be different
Maybe daylight saving time(if used where you live)
Finally just forget the stupid Windows and lets stay on in linux
i just remembered some distributions
use the bios time as gmt and add the difference to the local time to the gmt
(you can disable this too)
to check if it is so
type setup(redhat)
and check time
and see whether gmt is clicked or not
