Let me just say that I'm a bit confused. When someone asks about ports and them
being closed it refers to "inbound" connections. But, now you seems you are tying to
make a connection to the internet from behind a F14 system (acting as a firewall?)
and can't connect....for example to http://fedoraproject.org/.

So, is your problem trying to access the internet or the internet trying to access a
server ?

It started as trying to access inbound for the two ports in question.  It has now morphed into connecting either way on anything.  I am about to the point that I am going to start saving website and Apache configs and rebuild the darn server!
