DSL should already have been configured for you when you installed FC3.
It's possible you might have selected a wrong setting when you installed
FC3 (during the page where it asks you about setting up a network
connection.

You need to set up a network connection to use DSL within FC3.  Most of
the time it'll recognize your connection automatically and configure it
for you without assistance, but sometimes you'll need to do this
automatically.

Head into the Network Configuration area (Apps --> System Settings -->
Network) and make sure the ethernet device you use to connect is enabled
- if it's not, do that by selecting the device in particular and hitting
the big green round button :)

Once that happens, the network should recognize your connection and
automatically assign you an IP address.

Let me know if this doesn't work.  (I'm not a networking expert, but
this should work).
