The display of time on your system depends upon the format you set for your local machine. It seems that your local (laptop) box is set to UTC. Depending upon your distro, the place where the setup is kept may vary, and the tool with which you set may vary. Usually your time preference is stored in /etc/hardwareclock. This is amended on run- ning programs like "timeconfig" (or your distro time tool) on your local box ... Ensure that both the laptop and the host machine are set to the same rules ...
