I do not know how it happened but I found this with Google too...
You need to alter /etc/network/interfaces. The entry for the card needs
to be changed from something like
iface eth0 auto dhcp
to
iface eth0 auto static
ie change dhcp to static
you also need to add lines for address, netmask etc. man interfaces
should help you with the different options and syntax of the file

Looks to me like dhcp is trying to get an address.
What distro are you using?
Each distro seems to have a different way to disable DHCP.
