It sounds like you might have configured the wrong network card. Since you mentioned you have 3 installed, it probably defaulted to a card different than the one you intended.
You can run the redhat-config-network command from the command line as root, or you can go through the menu and configure the network devices.

There is a link from Fedora with some info.
If you haven't already, try adjusting the settings for your network card there.
Another option would be to buy an inexpensive router and set it up to connect to your ISP...then using DHCP to grab a local IP from your router. If you're planning on running two computers, this is the preferred way to go.

You need to give more info.
*Post everything you know about your modem.
*What's your ISP?
*Did it ever work with an other OS?
*Did it come with an installation CD?

In Fedora, I believe you can also take a screenshot by hitting the Print Screen button. A picture is worth a thousand words, and a few shots of the network card configuration may be helpful.
If you're set up to obtain an IP through DHCP, it should also be able to grab the DNS.
Just for shits and giggles....try plugging in 64.19.9.33 as the primary DNS.
Reactivate the card, and tell me if this gets you a connection.

Just type ifconfig and tell us what the ouput is.
