Strange log entry

I keep getting these lines in my logwatch report:

> Nov 23 14:02:23 wulfy-desktop dhclient: DHCPREQUEST of **.**.***.*** on eth0 to 192.168.0.1 port 67
> Nov 23 14:02:23 wulfy-desktop dhclient: DHCPACK of **.**.***.*** from 192.168.0.1
The *'s are, of course, numbers and are the same in both lines.  This 
happens every couple of minutes, which generates a lot of e-mails from 
logwatch.  I'm a complete newbie at networking so have no idea even how 
to google intelligently on this subject...  :@(

Can anyone tell me why my eth0 is continually asking for a DHCP? Is this 
normal? Or do I have a problem in the configuration?
