I used to use NIST time servers to sync my computers under both Linux and 
Windows. At one point they changed the URL's for the servers so I had to 
find the new names. I did a quick google search and found the page with the 
list of NIST servers. It can be found at:
     http://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi

It lists all the servers and tells you which ones you can use and which ones 
are busy.
