[CentOS] Re: network config files in centos 5 changing

What is happening in centos 5 with network config files???

I have a machine with 2 network cards.

ifcfg-eth1 keeps changing to DHCP. All my static setup is gone.

Why is it doing this? How can I stop it?

I run "netconfig -d eth1" and re-setup my static information. I reboot and now I am back to DHCP.

I have a gigabyte motherboard, nvidia chipset. forcedeth driver. eth0 is e1000.

I have seen this problem with Asus MB's and the forcedeth driver. It was being blamed on Asus bios issues, but it might be a bug in the forcedeth driver. The suggestions I have seen involved putting a fixed MAC address into that interfaces config file.
