Static IP weirdness on server

Here is a very unusual problem that I have encountered at a customer site. Server is running Windows 2000 SBS and it hosts web and email services. I have recently converted it to a single NIC and unloaded the ISA proxy/firewall. Now has a Cisco PIX 501 firwall in front of private subnet.
My problem is that the static settings I set for the NIC are not retained. I have setup and modified many servers running NT and W2K but have never seen this issue. If I check the settings with "ipconfig /all" it shows the expected dhcp enabled <no> reponse and the expected IP settings. However, rechecking the IP settings shows no static entries. I have replaced the NIC with no change of behavior. The server IP address is outside of the dhcp scope range of address that are assigned to clients.
