When i try to run
# sntp clock <ip> | clockview
sntpclock: warning: unable to read clock: timed
out
sntpclock: warning: unable to read clock: timed

clockview: fatal: data split across packets

It is not that my clock is too screwed.
# date
Wed Mar 26 10:22:48 IST 2003
# hwclock
Wed 26 Mar 2003 10:23:48 AM IST  0.992516 seconds

Still i get this error. I tried with quite a few
NTP servers. Same problem. 
One thing I must say here is that my ISP blocks
by default many ports. Does clockspeed require
any port to be kept open?

Thank you.
