I assume by Peer-Peer you mean direct cable connect and by HUB you mean ethernet. Either way it doesn't matter. The computer has to be able to boot before it can establish network connections. If the BIOS is dead and will not boot the PC, you'll need aquire a replacement BIOS chip. Some chips you can still get from the manufactor of the MB and some are available from 3rd party sources - depends on the age of the board.

Good luck

Hi! I worry to say you that if BIOS is dead all the machine is dead. The Bios is the brain of the machine, there are all the instructions for the startup of all parts of the machine, if this don't work nothing works, either serials, ethernet card etc. I'm sorry, but you'll need to replace the bios.
Hope it's help you
