Network Randomly changes IP address

AdmiralNemo

I have a strange problem. I have a computer that randomly resets its IP address to a DHCP-assigned one, overriding the data in /etc/conf.d/net. I have uninstalled dhcpcd in order to prevent this from hapening, but it made no effect. My configuration file is set for static assignment, so I don't know why it is doing this. It make no sense. What can I do?

Do you have something in your crons (look in the /etc/cron* directories and check 'crontab -e') that request for IP's ? Also, do you have a DHCP server in your network or how do you know you get a DHCP leased IP ?

Nothing in crontab. The computer sitting next to this computer is my router/DHCP server. The static IP address that it is supposed to have is a public IP in my block, and the DHCP server gives out 192.168.25.xxx non-routable IP addresses, which is what I am getting.
