Thanks Frank.
Indeed there was DHCP processes running:

# ps aux | grep dhc
root      3650  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    08:31   0:00
[dhclient] <defunct>
root      4044  0.0  0.0   2204   608 ?        S<s  08:32   0:00
dhclient3 -pf /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid -lf
/var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases eth0
root     11612  0.0  0.0   2204   572 ?        Ss   11:39   0:00 dhclient eth0
root     12702  0.0  0.0   3192   752 pts/0    R+   12:16   0:00 grep dhc

When I killed all of the above processes, the problem was solved.

thanks,
John
