Are you using NetworkManager to handle your network? In Fedora 9 I found that NTPD was started before the network was brought up, and NTPD never tried again after the network came to life. There were at least two solutions:
1. Stop using NetworkManager (use the network service, instead). 2. Restart NTPD after the network's alive (add a script for the power management daemon).
