I'm looking for a address for a Default NTP Server for my D-LINK router any ideas where to get this.

My time on windows 98se is good but on the router side it resets itself each time I unplug the power from it. I only do that because to turn it off when I'm done using the computer.

I always have to set the time and date again each time I do that. And on the time settings it says Default NTP Server (optional) so I'm looking for that (optional) setting.

Stop unplugging the router. Just do a graceful shutdown on your PC when you are done. I do not have a network set up at home, but I am assuming that it is offering you to either set the time manually or use the NTP server to set it. If you are looking to give it an IP address, use something in this range:
192.168.0.0 thru 192.168.255.255
or any of the other non-routable address'

Thanks for the info but I also got info from 'ntp.cpsc.ucalgary.ca' which gave me the address.

It sounds, from your email, that using a stratum 1 server would be a
bit of overkill. You can use our stratum 2 server
'ntp.cpsc.ucalgary.ca', whose IP address is 136.159.2.1, to achieve
accurate time sychronization.

Let me know if this works for you -

There isn't a Default NTP server [except an internal network authoritative time service where all workstations on the network sync time with that authority. The Domain Controller is the internal network authoritative time service which obtains it's accurate time from an external time service such as time servers from the US Navy. Microsoft Technet 307897 how to sync time in WXP gives you a "how to configure" for internal and external time service.
