Thanks for the reminder to Gregory that I had to post a summary.

The OpenBSD/PF/Carp firewall was doing its job. It ended up being a
client-side bug within Fedora Core. mppe was broken in the kernel thus
resulting in connectivity issues. It since has been fixed.

A simple 'yum -y update' to my Fedora Core system and a reboot later has
resolved the issue.

Regards,

Ryan
