Hmmm.. Ok.. When I cat it I get this..

linux-clove:/etc/sysconfig/network # cat ifcfg-wlan0
BOOTPROTO='dhcp'
MTU=''
REMOTE_IPADDR=''
STARTMODE='onboot'
UNIQUE=''
WIRELESS_ESSID='My System'
WIRELESS_KEY='1212121212'
WIRELESS_MODE='Managed'
WIRELESS_NICK='My System'
WIRELESS_NWID=''
BROADCAST='192.168.1.255'
IPADDR='192.168.1.188'
NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
NETWORK='192.168.1.0'

Where is it getting the the Static IP's From.. I also dont see the lines for DHCLIENT 
Could this be my problem?

Im using the KiWiFiManager to change my configuration. Should I be doing it from elsewhere?

Thanks For All Your Help!
