I have three Linux boxes, namely, A, B, and C, in my LAN. I use C
as the NTP server for my LAN. C, in turn, gets its synchronization
from some external NTP server.

 Both A and B use the same (very simple) ntp.conf configuration file:

server  127.127.1.0     # local clock
fudge   127.127.1.0 stratum 10
server  192.168.0.1    # IP address of C in my LAN
driftfile /etc/ntp/drift
multicastclient                 # listen on default 224.0.1.1
broadcastdelay  0.008

  The problem is that while A gets its synchronization from C all
right, B does not. In A, the ouput from

   ntpq -pn

is

    remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
127.127.1.0     127.127.1.0     10 l   48   64  377    0.000    0.000   0.004
*192.168.0.1     216.27.190.202   3 u  937 1024  377    2.087    0.813   0.115

whereas when invoked from B, the command just hangs for a few seconds,
finally returning the following:

localhost: timed out, nothing received
***Request timed out

  Can anybody give ideas so as to what is going here? Notice that I
can synchronize B with C by hand by issuing the ntpdate command in B.
