Please provide the information I asked for !
Which version of ntpdate do you have installed ?
Is there a firewall between your machine and the internet ? If so then obviously you will have to make sure that it is not preventing the relevant packets.
If the problem persists, please provide the output of the following commands, run as root:
sh -x /etc/init.d/ntpdate start
strace -tt /usr/sbin/ntpdate -b -s -u ntp.ubuntulinux.org
