An error occurred while Windows was synchronizing with time.nist.g

With Windows Vista Ultimate I am seeing the above error when I select "Update
now" in the Internet Time Settings window. I have turned off Norton 360 and
Vista firewalls. I can ping time.nist.gov (time.windows.com does not
respond). w32tm /query/peer/verbose gives:

#Peers: 1

Peer: time.nist.gov,0x9
State: Pending
Time Remaining: 0.0000000s
Mode: 0 (reserved)
Stratum: 0 (unspecified)
PeerPoll Interval: 0 (unspecified)
HostPoll Interval: 0 (unspecified)
Last Successful Sync Time: (null)
LastSyncError: 0x00000000 (Succeeded)
LastSyncErrorMsgId: 0x00000000 (Succeeded)
AuthTypeMsgId: 0x0000005A (NoAuth )
Resolve Attempts: 0
ValidDataCounter: 0
Reachability: 0

I turned on w32tm debugging, and see:

149071 09:50:01.9958968s - PeerPollingThread: PeerListUpdated
149071 09:50:01.9958968s - PeerPollingThread: waiting forever
149071 09:50:17.9948728s - W32TmServiceMain: timeout
149071 09:50:17.9948728s - W32TmServiceMain: waiting 1024.000s
149071 09:50:18.0017083s - RPC Call - Query provider status
149071 09:50:18.0017083s - TimeProvCommand([NtpClient], TPC_Query) called.

Which I would guess indicates that it has timed out. I have tried all of
the servers in the drop down list of servers; all give the same error message.

I am out of ideas.

Any help would be appreciated!

Use Google to find a public time server in your area. Type its name into
the box (you're not limited to the choices in the pulldown menu, you can
manually enter a server name). Restart the PC and see if it can sync to a
different server.

I'm not sure quite what happened, but for some reason it now seems to be
working. Thanks for response.

Glad to hear it did work out in the end.
