If it says that it can't reach any hosts, then you should try other hosts.



I have no idea where it got those hosts from; /etc/ntp.conf says:

server 0.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 1.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 2.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 3.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst


[0-3].debian.pool.ntp.org gives you every time another server.


maybe those are mapped to the above list? I don't understand why only two of
them seem to have valid names, though (4.53.160.75 and 1.empty.pw). I can ping
those two machines just fine.

Do you have ntp-server in your own network? Then use this server.




You can tell your DHCP-client that he has to ask the DHCP-server or you
can set them in /etc/ntp.conf.
Default settings in /etc/ntp.conf:
server 0.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 1.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 2.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 3.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst


Exactly; they're set in /etc/ntp.conf.

I think I may just set the server to be one of the other machines on the
network, since despite a range of distros and versions, they all seem to be
keeping time correctly.
