on second thoughts, try first by looking into your date and time settings, i have a hunch that your time setting is set for a time zone which is not your actual time zone, it could be some zone which is -8 hrs behind your actual time zone. and together with it the "Automatically synchronize with an Internet time server" might be ticked. this is making your pc sync with that incorrect time zone everytime you connect to the internet. hence this has nothing to do with you dialup connection!!!
