[ntp:questions] ntpd won't sync

Hi,

I am trying to set up ntp to sync my computer's clock to the internet. I don't want to act as a server or any other complicated stuff. I am behind a NAT, but I don't have a firewall.

My ntp.conf looks like this:

server 0.fr.pool.ntp.org
server 1.fr.pool.ntp.org
server 2.fr.pool.ntp.org
driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift
logfile /var/log/ntp.log

The output of ntpq -p -rv is:

assID=0 status=c011 sync_alarm, sync_unspec, 1 event, event_restart,
version="ntpd 4.2.4 at 1.1437-o Tue May  8 03:42:36 UTC 2007 (1)",
processor="i686", system="Linux/2.6.19-gentoo-r5-moobox-12", leap=11,

 chihiro.bleu-pa .INIT.          16 u    -   64    0    0.000    0.000   0.000

The output of ntpq -c as is:

===========================================================
  1  4322  8000   yes   yes  none    reject
  2  4323  8000   yes   yes  none    reject
  3  4324  8000   yes   yes  none    reject

The relevant section of /var/log/messages is:

May  8 05:52:58 moobox ntpd[7159]: ntpd 4.2.4 at 1.1437-o Tue May  8 03:42:36 UTC 2007 (1)

What could be wrong with this setup ? Thanks in advance,
