Fixed IP interface, changes the address

[brunosimoes]

Good Morning,

I have in my server, the /etc/network/interfaces file configured as follows:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
# LAN
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.8
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
network 192.168.1.0

# WAN
auto eht1
iface eth1 inet static
address <my fixed ip>
netmask 255.255.255.248
gateway <my gateway>

My LAN interface, eth0, chages it's ip address from time to time to 192.168.1.165, with is my DHCP ip range. There's no action in crontab requesting DHCP for this interface. Where else could i check?

There must be something called BOOTPROTO=static on the eth0 config file to assign the IP address to the interface and make it persistent across reboots.. I'm not sure what is it for your distro... try the man page
