Try ntpdate -u ntp2.usno.navy.mil

       -u Direct ntpdate to use an unprivileged port or outgoing
              packets. This is most useful when behind a firewall
              that blocks incoming traffic to privileged ports, and
              you want to synchronise with hosts beyond the firewall.
              Note that the -d option always uses unprivileged ports.
