Wrong time causing online login problem

[SimpleSi]

Just a heads up for people.

At one of my schools, the head couldn't login properly to RAISEOnline using IE6 - seemed to login but didn't show up out school name in top right and other funnies.

tried everything - added site to trusted zones ,enable cookies etc etc etc to no avail - firefox worked fine on same computer

Turned out that date was set to Feb2008 on computer and that was causing the problem

Strange it didn't effect FF and just IE????

Presumably these are peer to peer/standalone PCs?

Ohh that is spooky - my main issue today has been the children not being able to log on to RM Maths because of a problem with the date and time on the computer. Turns out the server was saying Jan 2008 - god knows why!

Set up the w32time service correctly.

Is there any client-side jscript for that site? Could be some browser specific code (FF's copes, IE's doesn't).
