System clock is blocked

Does anyone know what port is used to set the system clock? Mine is blocked and I can't set it to atomic time.
Vista,Norton

Ports? atomic time? What exactly is the problem?

When I attempt to set my clock to internet time I get the error "An error occurred while windows was synchronizing with" "time.windows.com"
It also does it with "time.nist.gov" and all the athers on the drop down list.
Does that help?
Thanks

An error occurred while Windows was synchronizing with time.windows.com

1. Most of the time you get the error is due to the time server being down, so try again later.

2. Try another Server. ( time.nist.gov )

3. Your firewall might be blocking W32Time, disable firewall, update time and enable again.

4. The following steps will stop and start the time update application.

Start > Run cmd.exe
net stop w32time
w32tm.exe /unregister
w32tm.exe /register
net start w32time
