Re: ifconfig -error - different IP address was shown

 It's hard to tell from such a sparse description. 

The "/etc/sysconfig" suggests that you're using something in the 
Red Hat family; RHEL, Fedora, or CentOS if it's of recent vintage. 
Assuming this is correct, then settings under /etc/sysconfig 
are maintained by the various GUI config tools. 

If the ifcfg-eth0 config file has an entry "BOOTPROTO=none", then 
it gets a static ip address from the "IPADDR" entry in the same 
file. I would assume that the "10.0.1.102" you referred to is what 
you see for the IPADDR entry in this file? 

If BOOTPROTO is set to "dhcp" instead of "none", then I believe 
it will ignore the IPADDR setting and instead look to DHCP to 
assign it an ip address. That's the first thing I would check if 
I saw the symptoms you describe.
