Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

My server local ip keeps changing --- one day it is 192.168.1.104 and a week later I need to change the port forwarding on my router to 192.168.1.103. My desktop retains the same ip. Is there something on the server that might be releasing the ip and requesting a new one??
I know that in the lan ip setup section of my net gear rp614v3s browser based set up program thaer is asection in which I can reserve Ip addresses for each machine on my Lan.
So Id suggest that you go to your routers web browser based configuration utility and reserve an ip addrees for the spacific hardware mac address of the servers nick card.
Are you using the -k switch when shutting down dhcpcd? This will send a SIGHUP to the dhcpcd process which will cause a DHCP_RELEASE to be sent to the server. If you don't want that to happen, try removing the -k from your shutdown script.

I second this solution. Windows doesn't release the IP back the the DHCP server on shutdown, so the DCHP server still has it set as assigned. Your Linux box is probably releasing the IP back to the DHCP Server on shutdown, so it will get a random free one on the next boot.
