I have two subnetted nets on the same physical network. I
have the scope for each network superscoped in the DHCP of
the domain controller.

Problem- I cannot get the dhcp to assign the second scope
automatically to specific computers. It always uses the
first scope. I have both scopes assigned to the NIC on the
domain controller and if I assign the second scope on the
client computer manually the net works.

Is there anyway to assign particular scopes to specific
computers??
 
I don't believe class identifiers will help here; you
can conditionally assign DHCP options based
on a class ID, but not the scope (IP) itself.

There are a few DHCP implementations that can
provide this (such as Cisco's), but Win2K can't
AFAIK.

OK. Told you I'd never used it.

Have you considered VLAN's?
Break the two networks up and decide which scope to pick by the vlan you
assign it to.
Make sure you use a dhcp helper address your internal router pointing to
your dhcp server.
