i have never got thisto work either, if s/o could explain what needs to be enabled to allow ntp to work it would be very helpful, i assume that ntp is more than just a workstation initiating a connection to the net because the default setting is to allow all traffic from behind the firewall outwards isn't it? and yet ntp seems to be blocked somehow, i forget what port ntp uses, i read up on it once and they were something like 123 or 137 or something low like that but even when i read what they were and opened them in all directions ntp didn't work, i assume that whatever isn't going on is also preventing the firewall itself from using ntp because having entered several different ntp servers from around the uk into the http-naat dialogue i am still waiting to see the amchine correct its time from being 2 min's out - and yes i did run '/etc/init.d/xntpd restart' !
