Hi Alfred,

What is the output of "ntpq -np" ? You should have a line with a star
(*), otherwise it is not synchronizing. Start running NTP again, wait
for half an hour and issue that command to see what your output is. It
could be a problem related to filtering UDP traffic, either with
iptables on the machine itself, or some other router in the network
your machine is in.

HTH,
Filipe
