[ntp:questions] Can't get time to sync with local time server

Using Freebsd 6.1

My time server is running ntpd and does not appear to have trouble
syncing with the public time servers.

My local boxes cannot seem to set the time off of my server, but they
can query it...


Example. (from my client)
# ntpdate
14 Dec 16:07:44 ntpdate[94134]: no servers can be used, exiting

# ntpdate 192.168.1.1
14 Dec 16:08:07 ntpdate[94135]: no server suitable for synchronization found

# ntpdate -q 192.168.1.1
server 10.1.16.2, stratum 16, offset 177.266135, delay 0.02588
14 Dec 16:08:42 ntpdate[94136]: no server suitable for synchronization found

# /etc/rc.d/ntpd start

Why can't I set my time???
