Maybe not your firewall. I don't get any response from there either
with or without using an unprivilaged port.
You may be having a name server issue:
I got two different resolutions for that server???

That would explain getting a response some times but not at others.
Have a chat to their admin and get the IP address, rather than using the
dmain name.

I have installed a windows version of ntp server which named

The '-u' option causes ntpdate to use an unprivileged port (i.e >1024)
instead of the NTP port (123).
You need to have port 123/UDP opened in all firewalls between your ntpd
and the remote time servers.
