Just because you are using DHCP doesn't mean the IP Address is really dynamic.

Some admins do static address allocation with a config file at the DHCP 
server.  It's one central file to edit and avoids configuring each 
workstation.

Even if you don't do anything specific, the IP Address may be stable for 
months or years.  You just have to use it before the DHCP server gets around 
to assigning it to somebody else.

Even if you have a truly dynamic IP Address, you might want to control the 
ntp.conf, for example to use a server yuu trust rather than the NTP server(s) 
you get at a WiFi hotspot.

I ran into the original problem years ago.  I thought I fixed it by chmod -x 
some-file.  Usually I keep notes on this sort of thing, but I can't find it.

You might find it by poking around with Google.
