Ok maybe it's not entirely fixed!

I set my staic address to 192.168.1.4, and NM seemed to happily show me as connected, which I was. However trying to connect to my machine from any other on the network (even just a ping) and there was no response. So I tried to ping myself and found that the requests were comming from 192.168.1.29 .
Checked my network setting again and it definately shows static at 192.168.1.4. Tried from another PC to talk to mine on 192.168.1.29 and it works. It looks like a DHCP assigned address but checking the DHCP client list from my router's setting page and there are none! Also I think the router's DHCP pool starts from 192.168.1.35.

What's going on?!
