Hello folks, my friend has a dell desktop computer that is connected to his work network in the building ( he is the super).


He doesn't have administrative rights and would like an independent personal computer. I tried numerous situations to fix his "network unplugged" connection but failed.


The work network is connected by a data cable and once I took it out, the PC was still controled by the network server.


I don't know how to take a computer away from a work network and make it independent with full administrative rights. He doesn't have OS software because he brought the PC from a friend.


I want to reformat the hard drive and I figure that should fix the problem.
I figured, the person that maintains the work network, would have to correct his network being unplugged because I guess, the network doesn't recogize his PC on it's server.


Can someone assist in this situation. He has wireless internet access in his building as well, but I can't get him to there without an active network.
