System problems with date set >27 July

Not sure if this is a MB problem or a Windows XP problem. The problem is
that when booting this system (on a 3-client LAN) on 28 July, all kinds of
problems were experienced--no Internet connection, couldn't talk to the
router, some programs would not work, and so on. I have conducted 2 days of
experimentation so far like replacing the boot drive, restoring recent drive
images, re-flashing the BIOS, re-installing LAN "card" drivers, and probably
a bunch of other troubleshooting procedures I have since fogotten.

The weird thing is that if I change the system date in Windows or in the
BIOS setup back to 27 July or earlier, the system works fine. When I change
the date back to a date greater than 27 July, the problems return.

I checked the system with the latest (28 July) NAV def files, and also with
AntiVir--nothing found. Checked for spyware using Pest Patrol and Ad-Aware.
PP found one item called Actual Spy--removed that. Ad-Aware found an item
called WEBHANCER which I removed. This had no effect on the problem.

As long as the date on this system is set at greater than 27 July, it cannot
access the Internet through the router/DSL modem, and the other problems
mentioned above are experienced. Funny thing is that this system can
communicate with the other clients on the LAN. I completely redid the
router-client setup from scratch and that did not correct the problem with
this system. The other clients are working perfectly with Internet
connection and no problems.

Appreciate any ideas, 'cause I'm about to replace the whole stinkin' system
and the router if I can't find the cause of this problem soon.:(

Thanks, Larry
