Assuming you are using Gnome....

All you need to do is bring up "network settings" you simply go to IPv4
settings and if you are using DHCP simply select the Method "Automatic
(DHCP) addresses only".  This then allows you to manually configure DNS
servers.

The manual way to do it would be to edit the appropriate ifcfg- file to
have....

PEERDNS=no
DNS1=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
