can i disable network boot on Inspiron 15 3521

my Inspiron 15 3521 uses Insyde H2O bios, and there appears to be no setting to disable network boot.  alternately, i would like to change the boot order so i can boot from HD (win 8 UEFI) before network boot.

the symptom is:  when i have a network cable connected when i power up, network boot comes up and takes forever to time out before booting from my HD.

thanks

Go into UEFI setup and remove the network adapter from the boot list (or put it below the hard drive in the list).  F2 at powerup.

the only entry under Boot--UEFI is Windows Boot (with my HD make and model number).  no option for network boot.

in the Boot-Legacy there are options for CD/DVD drive, Hard disk, and Network.

the option to delete boot options is grayed out.
