>>>If you wish to change the values being returned from the computer with date() and time(), you can do it with a batch file which calls the DOS date and time commands. These will re-set the computer's values until you re-boot. AFAIK if you want to change the values permanently you will have to use the computer's own setup command when booting.

You're right for some networks types. Although, this is not a default setting, but set by the network admin. Also, changing the date/time in the computer's setup, doesn't change anything (ie this is not related to the computer's setup or type).
