Files copied over the network are 8 hours behind

Hi,

I'm using Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) and I noticed that when my external hard drive (WD 2TB) is connected to a USB port on my laptop, any file I copy over to it is fine, in that it has the same "modified" date and time stamp. However, if I connect the same drive to my router and copy a file 'across the network', so to speak, then the copied file has a "modified" date and time that is 8 hours behind the original file. Both use the NTFS file system and the date/time settings on the router are all correct. Anyone have an idea what is going on and how to fix it? Thanks.

Victor

That's just plain weird. Have you tried doing a reset of the router?

Does changing the date/time setting on the router effect the date/timestamp of the files?

Does the same thing happen iwth other drives attached to the router or only that one?
