I've had this problem, too!
The time servers I visit (with a cool, free little utility called AboutTime) are:
NASA (ns.arc.nasa.gov , 128.102.16.2)
NIST (time.nist.gov , 192.43.244.18)
U.S. Naval Observatory (tick.usno.navy.mil , 192.5.41.40)
They've been timing out on me lately.
Anyone have any others?

You and I use the exact same program/settings. Hmmm.

I think the timer service NNYer is synching to is a shortwave radio station -
WWV in Fort Collins, CO.
My Sharper Image clock syncs to that radio signal, and seems to be accurate right now.

Here's a few good ones:
navobs1.usnogps.navy.mil
navobs2.usnogps.navy.mil
ntp2.usno.navy.mil
tick.usno.navy.mil
Also, most major universities have time servers, but you'll have to dig a little deeper for those:>
