You can use the applet, which you'll find as part of the System Settings stuff, to alter these values. If you're setting these manually (Method='Manual'), select 'wired' from the initial window, click 'Options' and then use the IPV4 or IPV6 settings tab to inspect and change them. If you're getting them via DHCP, you'll need to change the settings in your DHCP server (probably part of your ADSL/DSL router.
I'm running a mixture of F15 (this laptop) and F16 (my house server, which runs bind 9 and is definitive for my house LAN) with both configured manually: in a small network (3 computers, 1 router, 1 network printer, 1 Squeezebox Touch internet radio tuner) I see little or no advantage in using DHCP.
