Are you using "NetworkManager"(NM) by any chance ? NM automatically spawns dhcp - no alternatives, although static IPs will be supported in some future release.

Ah the dreaded NetworkManager. I always forget that since I never liked it to begin with.

nohup /usr/bin/pipclient -w /usr/bin &

to stevea: yes I using "NetworkManager",but I dont how can I online without NetworkManager.

You have ONBOOT set to no and needs to be yes.
Also set DHCPPROTO to none

ONBOOT=yes
DHCPPROTO=none

And if you have a wired nic that is say eth0 the edit ifcfg-eth0 to have ONBOOT=no. One can really only have a single interface up with a defined gateway unless routing commands are set.
