I've received word from my ISP that they are *not* blocking port 123. I see
on my Linksys router/firewall that my packets are going out (it's the last
step before the cable modem). However, nothing comes back to it. Not on
port 123, not on any other port from those hosts. The ntpdate -u gets
results, however. Oh well.
I guess I'll just need to do this manually once in a while, and then sync up
the rest of my machines with this one.
Thanks for the help,
