Multihoming

I am trying to configure an IBM laptop with Win98 as a
multihomed system. Two network adapters are installed,
one PCMCIA, and one wireless USB. The problem is that
Windows won't allow separate DNS settings for each. I
would like to set one as a static IP, and the other DHCP.

I'm sorry, but the DNS setting in Win98 is global and applies to all
network adapters. It looks like you can specify different settings
for each one, but you can't.

You can still use a static IP address on one adapter and DHCP on the
other, but a static DNS setting will apply to both of them.
