James if you want to allocate static IP's, and I do the same, I always turn of DHCP from the hardware devise. With so many changes to Knetwork Manager over the past this may be a solution for you - I know this is not right and doesn't solve your problem, but it will assure your PC's remain static.

Hello,

Somehow dhcpd tried to update the IP of a nic that had a static IP address. After restarting the nic/network to reset the IP correctly I noticed the following in the logs;

<snip> Jun 17 08:50:16 dns-server named[7523]: FORMERR resolving 'ns.eunet.es/AAAA/IN': 82.194.64.26#53 Jun 17 08:52:54 dns-server modify_resolvconf: Service dhcpcd tried to modify res olver configuration, but it Jun 17 08:52:54 dns-server modify_resolvconf: was not modified due to MODIFY_RES OLV\NAMED_CONF_DYNAMICALLY=no Jun 17 08:52:54 dns-server kernel: eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45 E1 Jun 17 08:52:54 dns-server kernel: klogd 1.4.1, ---------- state change -------- -- Jun 17 08:52:54 dns-server modify_resolvconf: Service dhcpcd tried to modify res olver configuration, but it Jun 17 08:52:54 dns-server modify_resolvconf: was not modified due to MODIFY_RES OLV\NAMED_CONF_DYNAMICALLY=no Jun 17 08:53:00 dns-server syslog-ng[4645]: Changing permissions on special file /dev/xconsole Jun 17 08:53:00 dns-server syslog-ng[4645]: Changing permissions on special file /dev/tty10 Jun 17 08:53:00 dns-server ifup: Interface eth0 is not configured for dhcp.

The service 'dhcpd' is currently off, however could any other service have caused the dhcp daemon to start?

Many thanks,
