First, don't worry about it.  Your system is trying to check the exact time 
and date with a server on the internet, but isn't connected yet.  No damage 
is done or problems caused by this.  It looks a bit ugly and may take a few 
seconds, but no harm is done to your system.

Second, there is information about how to stop it in a recent thread 
(today) on this list, "Re: avoid syncronising clock and how to dial-up".
