I always thought it went:

ISP >> ADSL Router >> Firewall >> Switches >> Internal LAN Devices
The problem then lies in the fact that your ADSL router is a NAT firewall by default.

RDDearing is spot on with what he's said. That's what I was getting at when asked if you could turn the NAT/Firwall off on the linksys and use it just as a modem/bridge.

TBH, if your wanting to tinker with things for self education you may be better at some point getting a plain ADSL modem with ethernet output. You've then got more configuration flexibility.
