I am trying to synchronize my clock with a NTP server by following the instructions here http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/GettingStarted , but this works only with some connections, not with others.
I am on Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.2, and I am using a WIFI connection (A). I picked server ntp.your.org and I synchronize my computer with it:
$ sudo ntpdate -b ntp.your.org
31 Mar 20:05:04 ntpdate[43114]: step time server 204.9.54.119 offset -0.005629 sec
$ ntpdc -c peers
nodename nor servname provided, or not known
$ ntpq -pcrv
nodename nor servname provided, or not known
On the other hand, if I do the same by switching my internet connection to a different WIFI network (B), I get a different output:
$ sudo ntpdate -u -b ntp.your.org
3 Apr 18:22:07 ntpdate[1186]: step time server 204.9.54.119 offset 0.153946 sec
$ ntpdc -c peers

I previously posted this question here, and the answers pointed out that this may due to the fact that port 123/UDP might be blocked when using A. In this regard, here is a snapshot of the port settings for connection A
As you can see, I enabled NTP on port 123 in both directions (line 9 and 22). However, I still get the errors above when using connection A.
Do you have any solution in mind?
