No, there is not. DHCP works on a "broadcast" system - your computer sends
out a request for an address and the first DHCP server to answer gets to
assign the address. This cannot be changed.

On my local network there are 2 DHCP servers,
one good, and one bad I can neither disable nor
remove as it's in a switch. I set "gateway" pointing
to the good DHCP server, yet Win98 still goes to
the bad one and gets its DHCP IP from there.

Is there any way to tell Win98 to go to a specific
DHCP server first?
