I'm not really sure how you do it though as I don't use XP. In the event that the option doesn't exist, (like in Windows 2000) then I'd suggest just setting your HW clock to GMT and setting Windows for GMT. I have 2000 installed so I can play the occasional game, and I keep it set to GMT all the time. After all, if I'm playing a game I can't see the clock anyway. And if I need to know what time it is when I'm NOT playing a game, I'm already booted into Linux so it doesn't matter what time Windows says it is. :) > (2) XP has this UPnP thing that I thing does sneaking things with my POS > linksys FW open ports. Is there something like that in *? I'm afraid I don't know what "this UPnP thing" is, so I can't help you there. If you'd care to elaborate a bit maybe I can be more helpful. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY! Encrypted mail preferred.
