What is providing DHCP?

Is there a way to tell what device is providing DHCP on my network?
Something out there is proving DHCP and it is providing bogus DNS entries.
I need to either kill that device or plug in the appropriate DNS entries but
I can't even figure out what device it is.

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Justin

From a workstation that is receiving the wrong IP, run ipconfig /all (Or
winipcfg from 9x) and check the DHCP server. Use nbtstat -a to identify the
machine name and who is currently logged on to it. Alternatively use the
dhcploc.exe utility from the NT Resource Kit.
