Why do my local network ip addresses keep changing?

[Tim Bogart]

Thanks Brian..I dropped a stitch.  Once again you are correct.  Joe, you have to 
shut down that dhcp service on the machine(s) that are running the dhcp service.

I forgot to add, shut off your DHCP server and then renew your IP 
address, if you get one, you have another DHCP server.... Just look for 
routers and access points that people have put on your network without 
permission.
