run "ntpq -pn" and look for an entry marked with *'s:
Code:
    remote          refid      st t when poll reach  delay  offset  jitter
==============================================================================
*10.101.168.249  172.16.83.1      4 u  83 1024  377    1.515  -1.777  0.284

OK, so for the first, the "16" number means that the remote server isn't responding / is unreachable on the network.

For the second, less immediately obvious. Stop the NTP service and run "ntpdate -d 120.88.46.10" to see the debug about the decision to use that server.
