When you run Net Time \\somemachine /set you are using the old LanMan NetTOD api to locate an authoritative time source which doesn't work because you aren't in the domain and you have already told the box to use SNTP with the /setsntp arg.
You want to use w32tm to test the SNTP function. Stop W32Time service and try w32tm -once and observe the console output. The arguments have changed in 2003 and XP and I don't have a W2K box handy but w32tm /? will give you all the args. It is confusing because you can use Net Time with the /setsntp or /querysntp but all you are doing there is making the registry setting or reading it.
