I don't know if you've solved this or not yet, but in case you haven't,
I just ran in to the same problem with my CentOS box. Investigating
further it appears that when you switch over to static IPs, the
configuration tool doesn't kill the dhcp client, so it keeps on
chugging, and renewing your IP address. Restarting the system should
work, or just killing the dhcp client will do.

How do I make my Fedora Core 3 box actually keep a static IP? I use the
netconfig tool...I use the graphical tool in KDE...it doesn't matter. It
holds the static IP for a while and then suddenly switches to an
automatic DHCP-assigned one. This is very annoying. What in the heck
can I do to assign it a static and have it actually use it (heaven forbid)?
FYI...my *Gentoo* box has no problem with this...
