>Description:
if you have a date set before 1970 you can't make any network connects to anything. You can still connect to the box and make dns lookups. However you can't even ping 127.0.0.1 it sends no packets
>How-To-Repeat:
set the date to anything before 1970
>Fix:
change the date to any after 1969
