I was using my computer normally yesterday and rebooted the PC to switch over to W7 as I can only run Serato DJ on it. Then I rebooted and went into Solus and the time was off by two hours ahead. I changed the time and the time setting was already set on manual without any prior issues. But I can as of yet not establish a network connection. Before when the time was off I didn't get any packets in out out. Now after setting the time manually offline, at least I have connection to the administrative dashboard for my home router but nothing else. Every time I reboot the PC normally it is off by two hours ahead. It doesn't seem to matter that I enter root password and change time because after reboot it doesn't remember what I set up.
What could I do to fix this?

EbonJaeger My dualboot is side by side and should not cause any issues, my BIOS and W7 clock works and when I'm entering my account password for Solus it too reads the correct time. But the second I get logged in the time goes two hours ahead for some weird reason.

What would cause the clock to go ahead two hours even though I changed the settings manually?

      ooga I just set the clock to 19:36 and rebooted and wouldn't you know the computer went ahead two hours to the correct time (bug?). I still don't know why it originally happened. But I know have internet and my clock is working.

        I'm going to assume you've had these 2 operating systems co-existing happily side-by-side for a while, and this is all new.

        Turning my brain inside-out (easy-peasey) I would say--
        no internet: settings/network. Does it look kosher in these tabs? install a firewall or sandbox program that's boxing you out?
        wrong time: this happened to me going about recklessly trying to harden my firefox in about:config, except my time was off by 12 hours...I undid my steps one by one. or something system setting got re-written?
        All I got. Good luck to you.
