what kind of server are you runnin?

the only idea i have from that is if it's looking for a time zone server to grab the time from.
hard to tell without knowing what you're trying to do.

This has nothing to do with you. DOCSIS modems must connect to a time of day server at the headend, that's how they know when to transmit. Something is wrong in your provider's network.
