1) Any idea why it is stopping?

2)How to get the time from a ntp server using windows command line so that if it works than my program should work .

are you allowed to open up UDP connections on port 123 through all firewalls? — rene, Aug 09 '13 at 11:51

1) The most likely reason your program is stopping is because of no network response this can be caused by the network blocking for Udp, port 123 etc.

2) You can use the ntpq program to query from command line (NTP)
