I would say it's more likely that you haven't set the DNS settings in 
your router and that DHCP is overwriting the manually set values on your 
machine with the ones from the router. Maybe.

That said your machine shouldn't be renewing it's DHCP lease quite that 
frequently. If you try running "dhclient" from a command line that 
should tell you how long the leases last for.

If that doesn't match up and you do think it's a piece of software you 
could try viewing your /etc/crontab file to see if there are any jobs 
set to run frequently that might be causing it.
