I had to go to the Network configuration tool, turn off DHCP there and specified a static IP address and it's been fine since.

My IP address appears to be randomly changing. If I were running DHCP, this would not be unexpected, however, eth0 is set with a statically assigned IP address. I have checked the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/devices/ifcfg-eth0 files, as well as the corresponding /etc/sysconfig/networking/ files. All files report the correct entries for IP address, gateway, DNS, subnet, and so on. However, when I run ifconfig eth0 the reported address is 9.37.a.b. The assigned address is 9.37.c.d. If I run nslookup on an MS box, the DNS server responds with the correct combination of IP and host name. This leads me to conclude that there is an incorrect setting with my linux box networking, but I don't know where else to look.
Has anyone else seen this?
