8-8 Troubleshooting

Problems with Date and Time
The Administration | Time Zone menu displays the current date and time of day. The VPN firewall
uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time from one of several Network
Time Servers on the Internet. Each entry in the log is stamped with the date and time of day.
Problems with the date and time function can include:
• Date shown is January 1, 2000. Cause: The VPN firewall has not yet successfully reached a
Network Time Server. Check that your Internet access settings are configured correctly. If you
have just completed configuring the VPN firewall, wait at least five minutes and check the
date and time again.
• Time is off by one hour. Cause: The VPN firewall does not automatically sense Daylight
Savings Time. Check the Time Zone menu, and check or uncheck the box marked “Adjust for
Daylight Savings Time”.
