FC2 Overriding static if in favor of dhcp system set for static

[pkraus109]

I have a fc2 box that when I set it with a static IP it will maintain the address for about a couple minutes then it will be reset with the DHCP assigned address.

Nothing I can find in my configuration files has anything set for DHCP. Even the GUI network app shows that it’s supposed to be a static address.

Any help is appreciated.


Configuration files below…
[root@advserver devices]# /sbin/mii-tool
eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok

[root@advserver devices]# netstat -nr

I had tried static IP settings with ifconfig to find that i only kept it momentarily, then it reverted back to DHCP. I wasn't able to get the Gnome GUI to do it either, so I tried launching system-config-network (ASCII GUI) in a terminal and doing it that way, and it worked for me.

killed the dhclient process.
restarted network services.
Ip stuck.
Bounced the server and the ip still stayed.

Thanks for all the help!
