It’s a packed show this time.  We are showing off the new Chromecast and talking about the network issues with 2012 Essentials R2.  Got some Drobo and SkyDrive news for you and we are in the forums a lot!  Big show, no Meetup talk this time so enjoy!

The YouTube for this episode is really good.

Searching for a network card for the N54L

The Dual Port NIC is: Intel EXPI9402PTBLK Two Gigabit Copper Server Connections 10/ 100/ 1000Mbps PCI-Express 2 x RJ45 – OEM

Newegg has it much more expensive at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106015

and the SYBA Card

The Intel single port NIC that worked for John Stutsman is the Intel EXPI9301CTBLK Network Adapter 10/ 100/ 1000Mbps PCI-Express 1 x RJ45
