Network Address Periodically Changes Without Warning
Hi there --
We have a Fedora Core 2 system that is configured with a static ip address. The system has been registered in our DNS domain with the appropriate hostname and address information.
Periodically, and without warning, the address suddenly changes to a different one. This occurs while the system is on, and does not occur during a reboot. The last reboot of the system occurred over a month ago.
I checked the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file, and confirmed the IPADDR, NETMASK, and GATEWAY fields had the correct information. Also, the BOOTPROTO line had a value of static.
I checked the /var/log/messages file, and I discovered several instances of the following:
dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67.
Port 67 is the Bootstrap Protocol server.
Why is this occurring, and how can I correct it? Thanks.
