assume eth0 has static IP 192.168.0.10

it is very likely that while linux:eth0 is down, some other machine comes up and gets IP address 192.168.0.10.
After that, if eth0 comes up, it gets an IP conflict.
It seems that this is not the case here since the dhcp pool does not include the linux machine's IP address.
