Server time doesn't want to stay set (help!)

Geeze, this is very frustrating. :-)
I rebooted and went into the BIOS. It was set to the correct time. During
the boot process, a message comes up and says that the time has been
adjusted. When it's finished, the system time is 4 hours behind. I
immediately did tzsetup, told it that UTC was not set in the BIOS, then
proceeded to select the appropriate timezone. I still get:
#web date
Mon Apr 3 08:46:13 EDT 2006 (Note, it's 12:46 pm when I ran this.)
web# ntpdate 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org
Looking for host 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org and service ntp
host found : rrcs-24-123-214-97.central.biz.rr.com
3 Apr 08:54:32 ntpdate[1881]: step time server 24.123.214.97 offset
14443.665454 sec
The offset even shows the 4 hours my machine is behind, but it doesn't set
the time because the difference is too great. (I think)
More thoughts?? :-)
Thanks,
Steve
