For DHCP adresses you can go with either. 

Try NetworkManager first by disabling the network service with
# chkconfig network off
and then rebooting.

Then 
# service NetworkManager status
should tell you NetworkManager is running
and 

# service network status
should tell you network is not running.

Then wait a few minutes and do  ( it takes ntpd a few minutes to synchronise )

# /usr/sbin/ntpq -p

If you see one of the time servers with an * in front of it then ntpd is 
working and synchronised to that server.

Hope this helps,

Tony
