You can run 

ntpdate time.server.com 

if you have ntpd package installed.

Or you have to synchronize your linux system time with
hardware clock (if this one is right) in your computer,
this is done by this:

hwclock --hctosys
(I guess, see man page)

It's probably good idea to run this everytime you go from
suspend/hibernation automatically, if you have apm, this can
by done through apm events - I didn't set this yet.
