Other than rpm -e > NetworkManager? ---- lots of disconnected things here... telnet fails to connect probably because Fedora never installs telnet server by default - use ssh for that. seems as though ntpd reached the server (looks like a clock.redhat type address) avahi is for multicast and you probably don't need that so for now ignore it. openvpn for network manager, I'm assuming is an extension to allow you to use network manager to up/down VPN connections as a user which makes sense but isn't at all related to what you are trying to do. network manager is the desired product for most if not all wireless network connection management so don't remove it. If you can ping back and forth, between the two machines, what exactly is the problem?
