In the name of Brevity...Windows 2k workstation, dell gx60, intel celeron. End user has no connectivity, internet, network, nothing. System time/date is off by 6 years. When I logged on as admin I had connectivity, then I updated date/time and had no connectivity... battery? or what? Thanks

Battery seems like a good place to start.

You could have more than one issue if the NIC is dropping connections too.

If you're trying to log in to a domain and the system clock is more than +/- 5 mins different from the server time then you are not going to get in.
After you changed the time did you check the time zone, DST, and am/pm settings?
