I have tried the patch also with -user-net and it seems  to work.

Windows 98 has a strange behavior with DHCP.
If it remembers an old lease it tries twice to have the address renewed
and regardless of the NAK or new address from DHCP it sends a ping (ICMP
echo), if nobody answers it picks up the old address.
TO solve this problem from a MS-DOS console window type the following commands

ipconfig /release 1
ipconfig /renew 1
