ntpd is not configured for general use 'out of the box'. Its default configuration assumes that you have a timeserver on your local network, whcih is on subnet 224.0.1.1.
The documentation good - read it. You have to choose some time servers on the internet, and add entries for them in /etc/ntp.conf. Comment out the lines with "multicastclient" and "broadcastdelay".
