That is a new one for me Bernie, but in searching around the web, it has
apparently been going on for several years and I gather the rejection (along
with the less than informative reject message) is caused when the time
server is overloaded. From what I have gleaned, apparently overloaded time
servers have become a very common problem.

A couple of sites to take a look at:

http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winxp/t1018274428

http://rbua.org/board/viewthread.php?TID=3974&FID=5

I personally know little-to-nothing about this subject so can't vouch for
what is said there, but it seems pretty much in consonance of what I read
(sometimes "between the lines") elsewhere.

Assuming that your firewall isn't causing the problem, using pooled time
servers as discussed at the first URL above might be worth a try.

G'luck, and let us know how it resolves.
