Client does not sync date with ntp servers

UNIX Solaris
1

We had a network problem a couple of days before that caused 1 interface to down and up. But today I have noticed that our date is wrong, our system have 4 servers and the other 3 are OK.
I used <date> command, the result is:

Fri Jan  2 17:57:55 ICT 1970

I have tried set date to be the same as other with this command:

date 1008094412

and received:

Fri Jan  2 17:59:37 ICT 1970
WARNING: date can only be changed by ntp 1 1

Can anyone help me on this :mad:

just did a snoop ntp packet, this is the result:

bts01-cab-hcm-mgcp1 -> broker-HCM1.fpt.net NTP client [st=4] (2012-10-08 10:43:04.30610)
broker-HCM1.fpt.net -> bts01-cab-hcm-mgcp1 NTP server [st=3] (2012-10-08 10:43:04.30775)
broker-HCM1.fpt.net -> BROADCAST NTP broadcast [st=3] (2012-10-08 10:43:20.96108)
broker-HCM1.fpt.net -> BROADCAST NTP broadcast [st=3] (2012-10-08 10:44:24.96134)

I have just reboot the server and there's nothing new. I have just run into this prompt:
"Time-of-Date Chip had incorrect date"
Please take a look and help me on this, ntp problem is really a serious one.

was the ntpq output after the reboot or after a longer uptime? also how does your ntpd.conf file look?
