      I can't find this anywhere, either in pfsense forums, or m0n0, or even LQ, so here goes:

      When I look at my DHCP Status page, all the time stamps are 2-3 hours into the future, like they're hardwired for Eastern time or something.  Going into "command prompt" and running "date" returns the correct time.  Any idea what's happening?

      Thanks, Mike

        Howdy,
        Did you set the time zone under System: General Setup?

        And when you say time stamps are you sure you aren't looking at when they expire?

          Of course, it was set to "America/Phoenix"; I have tried setting it to "MST" to see if that makes any difference. (If you don't know, we don't do daylight savings here, so it's UTC-7 year-round.)

          And the times I quote are the start times, not the end times.

          Will post if setting to "MST" makes a difference, but I probably won't know until tomorrow night when I have some new users on the system. (This is the main NAT/firewall for a motel's wi-fi network.)

          Let me know if you have any other suggestions in the mean time, and thanks again!

          Mike
