DNS-323 V 1.05 Date/Timestamp issues.
This is driving me nuts. Any ideas how to fix? See attached jpeg file. Scenario: I run a backup program on a Windows XP system that has the correct system date/time set. The DNS-323 also has the same/correct date & time. The backup program creates the backup file on the DNS-323 at 11:28 PM Oct 10. However, when you view the mapped drive directory on the DNS-323 in Windows XP explorer, the time is off by one hour - in this case it shows Oct 11 at 12:28 AM. If you log into the DNS-323 with telnet and do an "ls -la" on the directory, Linux has the correct file creation date/time. Why is Samba telling the XP system a time thats 1 hour later? It shows the same wrong date/time no matter what XP system I use to view the mapped drive direcory.
Is this a Samba bug? Any known ways to fix it?

Re: DNS-323 V 1.05 Date/Timestamp issues.
Here's another simple example. I used the "File"--->"New" option in Windows explorer to create a new text document on a DNS-323 mapped drive. The file creation time stamp is 1 hour ahead of the time on the PC (As the attached screenshot shows). If you log onto the DNS-323 and look at the directory listing, the time is correct (not 1 hour ahead).
This has to be something in the way the Samba server is reporting date/time info back to Windows. Perhaps the implementation of Samba used in the DNS-323 does not correctly implement daylight savings time or timezones correctly?
Could others who are using the DNS-323 and v 1.05 firmware confirm similar behavior? Thanks.

Re: DNS-323 V 1.05 Date/Timestamp issues.
I had the same frustrations myself.
All I can say is that use the ntpd included with ffp and your problems should go away.

Thanks so much for the assistance. Installing ntpd and setting up the TimeZone properly seems to have solved my problem. Will monitor for a few days to be sure.
