I have a headless Centos server that I've configured with a static IP address. I've disabled Network Manager, avahi-daemon etc. Whenever I restart the network it just jumps to 10.155.90.100 instead of the required 10.155.90.61 with no explanation:
Here is my ifcfg-eth0:
# Intel Corporation 82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper)
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
#HWADDR=00:50:56:b0:5a:57
IPADDR=10.155.90.61
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=10.155.90.1
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no
IPV6INIT=no
PEERDNS=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=no
It seems to be running DHCP anyway. I cant seem to get a more detailed log than this in /var/log/messges:

Jul 11 12:50:36 dhclient: bound to 10.155.90.100 -- renewal in 255205 seconds.
How can I turn off DHCP and stop the server jumping for the wrong IP?
