OK, so I was fooling around in the BIOS, and when looking at LAN related things, I found something called "PXE BIS Default Policy" and I coculd set it to Deny (what it WAS set on) Accept, and Reset, what the heck is it??

Thanks!

its the preboot execution environement. contains boot ROM info. Basically it allows a system to boot from server before the actual o/s on its local drive. Real useful for remote os isntallations and other things like diagnostic software...
 
yeah, you dont really need it and its just something that can cause problems. sometimes will get boot errors because it will try booting from the network. allthough it should come up and say "Looking for network boot info" and then continue when it cant find it, sometimes it will error out there. Best just leave it off.
