If your router advertises a NTP service with its DHCP configuration
data, your computer may use it.  I've done something similar (set my
DHCP server to provide an address to a NTP server), and some clients do
make use of it.  It's been ages since I looked into this, though.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
