I understand the frustration gerti, and I'm sorry that you're having
problems.

I still don't understand the steps to take to not get the right time. I
have a fresh VM install of 11.04 that was already configured to query NTP
from the network, and it did so flawlessly without changing anything. It
also works fine if I just install ntp on a server, so I really don't
think there's a problem with the ntp package, but maybe I have missed
a step or detail that causes you issues?
