I have had the same problem with Netware 5 and 5.1 servers. The easy answer is replace the timesync.nlm with the original one. Netware might have a separate download to deal with the issue by now (I would hope) but I have not checked the netware site in ages so take a peek there just in case. The bad part about using the old NLM is that if you have more than one Netware server in the same NDS tree they have to use the NLM from the support pack to synchronize each other so in a multi server environment you are out of luck. If you try to use the NLM from the CD in a multi-server environment NDS DB starts getting corrupted and you have to run dsrepair almost every day.

I have replaced the BIOS battery, but the pc still reboots with the wrong time and date. Usually the date and time are frozen at the last time I logged off, but recently it sometimes boots up as 1st June 1981 (sometime round then).
It's a Hewlett Packard, if that makes any difference- Windows 98.
