system time get changed. Has anyone else observed this behaviour? Also is
there any way to iteratively consult the various server addresses given in

On some, or many machines, the hardware clock (time of day) is sustained
by a "coin cell" battery when power is off! Sooner or later this
battery must be replaced. The ones I've encountered used a "CR-2013"
coin cell. If investigation reveals that there is such a cell it will
need to be replaced every few years. Observe the markings
on the old battery and find a battery to match it. If power is seldom
off and is restored quickly this battery may last for three to six
years! YMMV!!!!
As I recall,the last time I needed such a battery, I purchased it for a
dollar or two at a nearby drug store.
If this does not resolve your problem, seek professional help!
