Probably. Are you allowing port 123/tcp and 123/udp through?
If not, you have your answer. Only open up the ports to the servers
you want to talk to, however, or use a stateful firewall.

Uh... Try and find a nice stratum 2 or stratum 3 server
unless you are acting as a stratum 2 for a large network behind you.
The stratum 1 servers DON'T need everyone's individual workstation
trying to sync to them. I run two stratum 2 servers with well over
a thousand workstations behind them. The stratum 1s I sync to
{tick,tock,tycho}.usno.navy.mil only see my two servers. They don't
need to see the screaming hords that I deal with and keep coralled. :-/
I was GOING TO refer you over to www.ntp.org for the list of
time servers where you can find some stratum 2 servers but it seems that
someone has foo'ed their DNS and www.ntp.org is currently aliased to
maccarony.ntp.org which is aliased to www.ntp.org. Doh! Maybe the
wakeup call I just sent over to the webmaster will help them fix it.
