[NTP]: no servers can be used, exiting

Hi,

This is the error message I get when I run '# ntpdate' on two newly created ESX 3.0.2 servers:

15 Jan 22:23:34 ntpdate[2689]: no servers can be used, exiting

Using the NTP sample configuration files, this is what they look like :

- partial contents of : '/etc/ntp.conf':

restrict default kod nomodify notrap noquery nopeer

restrict 127.0.0.1

restrict fr.pool.ntp.org mask 255.255.255.255 nomodify notrap noquery

server fr.pool.ntp.org

- full contents of '/etc/ntp/step-tickers':

fr.pool.ntp.org

I have done:

1. esxcfg-firewall -q ntpClient

2. service ntpd restart

3. service mgmt-vmware restart

4. reboot

But still no luck, can anyone help please?
