If you do a "ps auxw | grep dhcp" you should see some dhcp daemon running. I forget what it is, but in the man page for it, you should find a "-D" command line option which turns that function off. You should be able to find the config file for your dhcp somewhere in the /etc/sysconfig structure or find more info in the man page. -- \ \/ / _ |~\ _ In God We Trust.
