Hi,
I use FC8 on my T61. I set static addresses for everything, but still
dhcp tries to figure out the IP. And it ends up that the IP has
something like 169.X.X.X
Initially when I do ifup eth0 it works fine, and I can use internet,
but after a minute (the indicator tells that "aquiring network
address") it goes from 85.X.X.X (that is the correct one) to 169.X.X.X
that is some internal address I think.
Any hints? How can i turn off the dhcp stuff?

Hard to say without more information. But it may be NetworkManager
doing that.
Try this as root:
service NetworkManager stop
service NetworkManagerDispatcher stop
ifdown eth0
ifup eth0
If that works correctly and stays statically configured then make
disabling of NetworkManager permanent:
chkconfig NetworkManager off
chkconfig NetworkManagerDispatcher off
If that does not do it, please send the contents of your
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
