Hi! I had the same problem as others have reported here. Zeroconf was installed automatically and kept overwriting my perfectly healthy IP-adress received through DHCP with a private IP-adress. I solved the problem by following a tip to add "FALLBACK=yes" to /etc/default/zeroconf. Since multiple people have experienced this problem I really think you should look into this.
