NTP failing

I'm trying to set my server to sync to a NTP server, however it doesn't seem to be working.

Before I can even get to setting a cron etc, I try:

rdate -s ntp.syd.connect.com.au

and get this back: Alarm clock

However the server clock is still out by 15-16 mins. Am I missing somthing here? I know this ntp link works as I have previously used it on another server.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
