System time problem with Mandrake 8 and Win98SE

Im running a Mandrake 8 and Win98SE dual boot system and I can't figure out how to make the system time consistent. Whenever I try correcting the problem in one OS the other gets affected and produces a different time from the one I entered in the other OS. I also find it weird that it doesn't affect the CMOS time.

They don't happen to be off by a time zone or two, do they?

Thanks for replying Michael! However I tried re installing Linux cause I had problems with my Tomcat installation and wanted to start clean. And as I was again choosing the time zone there was a prompt there which stated that if I'll be using Windows in that same machine then I should select the "No" to GMT option. And so I did. Problem solved.
