I am using XP SP3.
My VPN randomly stopped working. I can't sign into it at all through its client software. In the Windows native mode in Network Connections, I can sign into some VPN servers, yet they will never load any websites in my web browser even when my system tray icon says that I am connected to the VPN. On other servers, I cannot even sign in and instead I receive the message "The remote computer did not respond." However, I can always sign into the the VPN website.
At around the time as my VPN stopped working, websites started to display time errors. For example, emails would display dates & times that are in the future which has not yet happened, and social media sites would say someone's Birthday "was yesterday" even though at the time when I read those messages, the date of that Birthday was still today (as in the current date).
I have set my Windows time and date correctly and successfully synchronized them with the Windows time server, yet the problems I've described still occur anyway. It seems as if websites are reading a different & incorrect system time from my computer than the correct one that is displayed in the system tray. Is that possible? If it is, how do I find where the incorrect system time & date data is being stored and then fix it?
If that's not the cause of these problems, then what is?
I'd appreciate any help that might solve these issues.
