I don't know if xntp works behind firewalls, but as a test you can try
running ntpdate, which should be part of the same package.

Run

# ntpdate -d <list of hosts>

as root (without xntpd running).  You should get back about a page of
information for each remote host and, at the bottom, it should tell you
which host it liked and how far off your clock is.  Note that the
remote hosts must be running the xntpd server for this to work.
