I am experiencing the same problem actually on my main box. The problem for 
me is both clocks do not sync the time. In the BIOS the time is set 
correctly, however if the time is set correctly in Linux using the KDE2 time 
configurator it throws the time off when i boot up win98 by about 5 hours 
ahead. Would love to find out how to fix this if anyone has a suggestion.

TIA

P.S. I also have this problem with my windows boxes running off a samba 
server for that I just use a simple cron job script to update the time. 
Thanks for your time.
