[lug] NTP server question

[John Dollison]

I was checking the settings on my old Motorola WR850G router when I noticed that all the log messages were dated 1970.  One of the basic settings for this router is "Internet Time Server Addresses," and shows these two addresses: 
216.211.136.180 
207.104.100.201
 
The manual says, "These servers are sponsored by Motorola; it is not recommended to change these settings."
 
Yeah, right... so I did a Google search on NTP servers, and got a little wrapped around the axle with Stratum 1 and 2 servers, getting permission to connect, etc.  I have a Comcast broadband connection; don't they host time servers that I can connect to without getting anyone's permission? 

Thanks,
