My firewall accepts UDP packets from port 123 to port 123, and from user 
ports to UDP 123 too.

The ntptrace command works fine :

ntptrace bitsy.mit.edu
BITSY.MIT.EDU: stratum 1, offset 126.623387, synch distance 0.15448, refid 'WWV'

And tcpdump gives this trace :

13:11:14.152247 193.252.254.21.3537 > 18.72.0.3.123: v1 client strat 0 poll 4 prec -6
13:11:14.154288 193.252.254.21.3537 > 18.72.0.3.123: v1 client strat 0 poll 4 prec -6
13:11:14.279097 18.72.0.3.123 > 193.252.254.21.3537: v1 server strat 1 poll 6 prec -6
13:11:14.281975 18.72.0.3.123 > 193.252.254.21.3537: v1 server strat 1 poll 6 prec -6

As you can see, bitsy.mit.edu (18.72.0.3) is responding to my computer 
(193.252.254.21)

But the ntpdate command seems not running :
 
ntpdate bitsy.mit.edu
23 Jan 11:55:43 ntpdate: no server suitable for synchronization found

And tcpdump gave me this trace :

13:10:45.914287 193.252.254.21.123 > 18.72.0.3.123: v3 client strat 0 poll 4 prec -6
13:10:45.918978 193.252.254.21.123 > 18.72.0.3.123: v3 client strat 0 poll 4 prec -6
13:10:46.914637 193.252.254.21.123 > 18.72.0.3.123: v3 client strat 0 poll 4 prec -6
13:10:46.915713 193.252.254.21.123 > 18.72.0.3.123: v3 client strat 0 poll 4 prec -6
13:10:47.914323 193.252.254.21.123 > 18.72.0.3.123: v3 client strat 0 poll 4 prec -6
13:10:47.915688 193.252.254.21.123 > 18.72.0.3.123: v3 client strat 0 poll 4 prec -6
13:10:48.914397 193.252.254.21.123 > 18.72.0.3.123: v3 client strat 0 poll 4 prec -6
13:10:48.915747 193.252.254.21.123 > 18.72.0.3.123: v3 client strat 0 poll 4 prec -6

I suppose that my computer questions bitsy.mit.edu, but bitsy.mit.edu is 
not responding.
