how to disable the dhcp

[tg2003]

I have RHEL 4 machine.

I want to disable it and use static IP to my machine.

This is my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file:

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=<MY IP>
HWADDR=00:11:25:4B:B3:E2
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet

but after reboot I get an IP from the DHCP and dhcp daemon is working

What's wrong?
thanks!

turning off the dhcp daemon is done through 'chkconfig'

at to the NIC, you have more than one NIC?

run 'ifconfig -a' just to make sure that you've not been programming the config file for another NIC. You've done the right thing. you should NOT be running DHCPd unless you intended to

If you're running RHE you should be able to disable the dhcpd using either chkconfig or you can use ntsysv and disable dhcpd to prevent startup on boot.
