Time synchronization not working

[rcir88]

I have XP professional on all my client computers and Windows 2003 Standard
on a domain controller, all with latest updates and service packs. I have
NTP set up so that the domain controller receives the correct time form an
internet time server. I had to create a policy on my router and open UDP
port 123 to allow this traffic (and was assured by the router manufacturer
that it would be secure). The system log shows that the domain controller is
receiving the time; however one of the client computers is not being
synchronized. By default, this computer should synchronize its time with the
domain controller. The computer is part of the domain and appears in Active
Directory. How can I fix this?
