That's because the server that you selected is not available (any more).
 There is a list of available NIST servers at:
http://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi

Myself, I use  tick.nobs.navy.mil with no problems at all.  It's at the
US Naval Observatory and is one of the group used to determine NIST
time.  My first engineering job was at the US Naval  Research Laboratory
so I have a (misplaced ?) loyalty to NObs !  :)

Happy Hamming.
