As I said in my earlier post, it's not necessary to disable dhcpd and in
fact it is likely undesirable.
In many lan networks there will some machines that get an address from a
dhcp server and some that have static IP - such as a server or a router.
In some cases machines will have static IP in addition to a dhcp
provided one.
Your best bet is, if it is working just fine, do nothing.
Though as a pointed out before, your machine very likely will have
NetworkManager running and it's probably a good idea to disable it.
