Check to see if your system has a built in Network card. If YES...disable it in the bios or just check the boot sequence to see if network is specified as an option and if so remove it. If NO...does your pc have a pci / isa network card installled? if you are using a stand alone system you can just remove this . Either way your issue should be resolved.

The default NIC boot ROM setting is Enabled. This setting can be changed through the 3Com NIC diagnostic program.

To enable or disable the NIC boot ROM setting using the 3Com NIC diagnostic program:
1 . Start the 3Com NIC diagnostic program.
2 . Click the Configuration tab.
The Configuration screen appears.
3 . Under Network Parameter, select Boot PROM.
4 . Open the Set Value list box and select Enabled to enable the boot ROM or Disabled to disable the boot ROM.
The setting is not saved until you click OK.
5 . Click OK.
