Thanks all,
I've verified that my gw doesn't block port 123.
Yet still I can't find any servers.

Any idea?

Here's the output from both commands (as root):
=========
[root@Atlantis miki]# /usr/sbin/ntpdate time-a.nist.gov
Looking for host time-a.nist.gov and service ntp
host found : 1.0.0.0
26 Nov 18:15:29 ntpdate[11138]: no server suitable for synchronization found
[root@Atlantis miki]#
[root@Atlantis miki]# /usr/sbin/ntpdate -u us.pool.ntp.org
Looking for host us.pool.ntp.org and service ntp
host found : 1.0.0.0
26 Nov 18:16:18 ntpdate[11145]: no server suitable for synchronization found
