Somebody please help, how can I get my Fedora box to boot up and get
connected to a Linksys router?

Linksys routers sometimes do not play well with Linux and you need to help
out a bit;

Try editing the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file and add the
line entry; GATEWAY=The Routers IP address here

Also check the /etc/resolv.conf file and make sure it uses the new
nameserver address's

It might be a good idea to use a static IP address on the Linux system for
the DMZ
