Thanks to those who replied. What I would do is change my date to a few hours earlier than normal time, and then launch ntp. I was under the impression it would sync quickly. I wonder how long would I have to wait for it sync up?
I checked with ntpq and ran "peers", there was alot of info from the time server, so it looks like its working. Thanks!!!
