SNTP problem

[Jeff Crosby <jlcrosby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the June issue of iSeries News is an article by Mel Beckman on TCP/IP
treasures.  Among other things are instructions on the SNTP in V5R1.

I followed his directions, but no matter what time server I use in the
CHGNTPA command (and I've tried a few, both by name and IP address),
when I do a STRTCPSVR *NTP it never works.  The QSYSOPR message queue
gets the following messages:

No response received from the NTP server.
SNTP Client initialization failure.

Could this mean the appropriate port (I think it's 123) is blocked in
our Cisco router?

Thanks.
