Amanda,
You are right that if you are behind a proxy, ntp won't sync with
ntp.ubuntulinux.org <http://ntp.ubuntulinux.org>.
Your Internet provider may have a time server. Check with them and if they
do, you can change the boot process to call your server instead.
Otherwise you can just ignore it. I move my laptop around a lot and
sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. At work I run "sudo ntpdate x.y.z"
with a local ntp server for x.y.z. Just do it by hand.
