I'm sure it's running dhclient. do
ls /etc/dhcp
and
ps ax | grep dhc
You don't need to do anything on that machine. Just install a dhcp
server somewhere on your network (on the router is conventional) and it
will give that machine an ip number.
At risk of repeating myself forever, I don't need an unstable address, I
don't want whatever the heck is left in the pool. Hosts files do that,
dhcp doesn't. It just hands out the next number in the pool. hosts
files are static. A forveer lease.
