Can anyone help?
If you run ntpdate with -d or -q then it sends it request to the server from an unpriviledged port. If none of those parameters are used it sends its request from the standard NTP port 123, which is a priviledged port (this also prevents using ntpdate if ntpd is already running since then port 123 is has already been opened by ntpd). Sounds like a firewall and/or router/NAT problem which doesn't allow outgoing and/or incoming UDP packets on port 123.
