Unable to get time from the internet

[andrew_wrobel]

I have to setup a couple of SLES 10 SP2 servers that will get their time from the internet.

I have following the steps listed at pool.ntp.org: the internet cluster of ntp servers

The following is the contents of ntp.conf:

driftfile /drift/ntp.drift
server 0.us.pool.ntp.org
server 1.us.pool.ntp.org
server 2.us.pool.ntp.org
server 3.us.pool.ntp.org

When I start NTP, the start up hands with ntpdate trying to get the time from the servers. I have verified that the server names do verify in DNS.

Do I need to pick a different set of servers? Any idea/suggestions would be greatly appreciatd.

Thanks
