I used the settings window that appears when I click the top-right
hand corner of the screen, click Ethernet and click "Wired Settings"

I went in there to add the fixed IP details, used it for a few hours
and then went back into the same settings window and changed it back
to DHCP mode.  When I changed it back to DHCP mode, I didn't delete
the values in the boxes for fixed/static IP.

See above

I haven't tried it on sid, I run stable on my laptop at present.
