is there any thing i should change in the bios if i have a computer that was part of a network?

Answer 1

If your computer had boot options that had "network boot" as the primary, you might want to change the boot order. For security reasons, you might not want to have it boot from the A drive, or your cd drive first. If you don't care about physical security, then just have the boot options Hard Disk first then CD or A drive etc.

I hope this helps, good luck : )

Answer 2

There may be a network setting in the BIOS if the motherboard has a built-in LAN card, but probably nothing you'd need to worry about. A computer connected to a network at the office can have the identical hardware as you'd find at home so there shouldn't be anything special.
