I fingered it out. In /var/lib/dhcp/dhcp.leases the dlink put in a very long lease(about 3 months) I deleted the entry now my machine knows nothing about 192.168.0.1. Kevin if you don't want to wait you can shorten the amount of time it looks for a dhcp server in /etc/dhclient.conf timeout I set mine to 5 secs and never have aproblem getting dhcp info in that time frame. unless you are using pump.
