Pc now no longer connected to the serve - how make it local use

[Snookums]

I've got a pc that was on the server at work but has now been bought home in order to do work from home on it.

Long story short I have no idea how to make so it isn't trying to connect through the server anymore as an Ethernet straight into my router is saying no connection.

Do I need to fresh install?

If I'm not making any sense just tell and I'll try to elaborate more.

So this is a Windows PC that was connected to a Windows domain?

If you have domain connected PCs who supports them?

Are you logging in using using a local account or a domain account?

Was it detached from the domain, or just unplugged and taken offsite?

Does it have a valid IP address and gateway (run 'IPCONFIG /ALL' from the command prompt)?

Is it configured to use a proxy server? If you don't know how to check Google 'windows proxy settings'.

Probably has a static IP address etc. Change it to DHCP
