My NIC just died last night. I have no network connection and am gonna replace the card today. I'm suspecting that the faulty card was on its last leg and was giving me trouble. I'll update later tonight if I can find a card locally.
Well the whole motherboard had an issue so I scrapped it out for parts. I bought an Intel Nuc, incredible how tiny these things are but the good news is that the response of apex local is a little better. Funny I had to buy a Nuc because of a NIC.
