Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: netbase
The following are on a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 6.4 LTS.
I edited /etc/network/interfaces and changed eth1 from DHCP to a Static
IP. Then I ran /etc/init.d/networking restart and the new address took
effect. Some time later, the IP address of the server reset to a DHCP
address.
The cause was dhclient3 was still running in the background, and was
resetting the IP at each lease refresh. Killing dhclient3 and/or
rebooting after changing from dynamic to static will workaround the
problem, but the fix would be to have /etc/init.d/networking restart
kill/spawn dhclient.
