I bet you don't have an IP address 127.127.1.0 available on your net and the failure is because it couldn't connect. If all you are trying to do is keep your local LAN in sync, you can pick one machine and use rdate in cron to sync the rest to it. If you really need to have accurate time, you're going to have to have an outside clock available somewhere to which to tie your primary machine clock.
