Could Someone explain Socket Error 11004 please ?

I noticed something odd on my workstation. From the Date and time
properties dialog I have been trying to 'update now'.  I put in a ntp
server address (that I verified first on a linux machine), and I get a
rather helpful 'An Error occurred'.

Ever resourceful, I decided to have a go with Indy idTime and idTimeUDP
components in delphi to see if I could get a better idea of what is
happening.

'Active:=True' seems fine, but SyncTime gives me 'Socket Error # 11004'

Am I getting to the source of the problem, or am I just using idTime
wrongly ?

I found :

WSANO_DATA      11004      Valid name, no data record of requested
        type. This error indicates that the key
        (name, address, and so on) was not found.

But couldn't glean any more from that.

Any pointers please ?
