Hi Bablu,

Check the log available at /var/log/ntp.log

Also check the configuarion file it uses /etc/ntp.conf to which server it's calling

To test that a server works, just type sudo ntpdate ntp.server.name and see what happens.

This is one helpful link: http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/ntp.client
