You probably have a DHCP client (like dhclient or dhcpc) running. This
will keep over-writting static configuration information every time the
DHCP lease is up for renewal. For example:
$ ps aux | grep dhc
dhcp 4133 0.0 0.0 2524 808 ? S<s Dec03 0:00
dhclient3 -pf /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid -lf
/var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases eth0
tony 23830 0.0 0.0 2808 760 pts/2 R+ 15:41 0:00 grep dhc
So I have dhclient3 running. Running "killall dhclient3" as root would
solve this in my case. You should check that the DHCP client isn't
starting on system boot too.
HTH,
