Did you look to see if crond or atd is running a job to do this?  Google 
is your friend.
These pages look promising:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/custom-guide/ch-network-config.html
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/custom-guide/s1-network-config-ethernet.html
