This is information on how to syncronize your hardware clock with internet time the manual way. Make sure you have the program rdate installed.

This will update your clock to Eastern Timezone (New York) and then apply the change to your hardware clock. You may notice the screen go blank for a couple of seconds upon running rdate while in a KDE4 environment.
