check the next line. If fMatch is false, then the warning triggers.

Code:
// If nobody has a time different than ours but within 5 minutes of ours, give a warning
bool fMatch = false;
BOOST_FOREACH(int64 nOffset, vSorted)
  if (nOffset != 0 && abs64(nOffset) < 5 * 60)
    fMatch = true;
This doesn't make sense to me.
Give a warning if the time offset is 0 ?

Have you tried manually synchronizing your time with window's time servers? If you fail to synchronize with windows time, it means there's an issue. In some cases, your computer time may appear to be correct, but your timezone is set incorrectly, resulting in incorrect time.
All good guesses.  Checked the timezone is set correctly for Utah and it sync'd just fine to the server.  Still have the message.  

I have a file synchronizer program I wrote a few years ago and if there was anything wrong with my systems date/time it would be barfing up 10 thousand files, but it is working fine.  Maybe it's time I pulled in the bitcoin source and started becoming a power-user myself.
that's not going to help

check the source for the warning: src/util.cpp


so either:
a) every peer you're connected to is trolling you
or
b) your system time isn't correct.

Yes, I did check the year.  And I think it started the day after the power went out last Sunday.  I've double checked the date and times on both my local DHCP router and my Internet modem.  It doesn't appear to be stopping the program, but it is a mystery.


I had this warning on my linux client. It didn't cause any problems though and I think it disappeared after a while. Date was correct in my case too.

I hate to ask this, but have you double-checked that the year was correct?

Has it been there for a while?

I've checked that both my CMOS and Windows 7 date and time are correct, yet I have this warning plastered across my client.  Any Ideas?
