I sync up just fine with clepsydra.dec.com; that's because I specifically pass that host/port combo through my firewall.

This is a default behavior of Windows XP to sync the clock. You can disable it in the time-panel.
M$ claims it to be ntp. You can change the host to your favourite ntp server but so far I've failed to get them to communicate.

Just for jollies, I 'syncd' my linux box to time.windows.com. It talked a protocol acceptable to ntpdate, but it skewed my clock 193 seconds back! I immediately re-sync'd with my normal servers.
