What machine is 192.168.0.1 on you network? Are you trying to run TWO ntpds
on ONE machine or something? All that ntpq is telling you is that the
192.168.0.1 machine is not synchronized itself to anything. (You DO need
to allow it a relatively long time, tens of minutes, to get synchronized.)

Since you mentioned you only really need to set time once then do it all
the "simple way" and run "ntpdate" from your "/etc/rc.d/rc.local" file.
And have it point to a server that will ALWAYS be there.
