Are there drivers for the Intel I211 network card for Windows NT 4.0 ?

Search here with keyword intel : http://win2k.org/wlu/wluen.htm

 

1. Click on "Manual Update" in the left-side (Windows Update) menu
2. Enter "intel" or "gigabit" as the Search Keyword (not "prowin")
3. Click "Search" (scroll down if needed)

Links to three versions of the Intel driver appear on the right.

No, but the drivers above might work if you modify the inf file or force-install. Open a new NT4 LAN thread to report test results or for more discussion.

Hello Anton12,

you addressed your request to blackwingcat personally. Since he didn't respond for a while now, I will share my thoughts which might or might not help in getting somewhat forward with the issue.

The standard "TLS 1.3" was published in 2018.

The last official updates for Windows 2000 are from 2016. The last updates for Windows XP are from 2017 (I think). However, there were still updates published for Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 back in 2018.

Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 is based on Windows XP and therefore is somewhat compatible with Windows 2000. So it would make sense to check whether there is an update for Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 which adds support for TLS 1.3. It would be a start to work on a solution for Windows 2000.

If there is no such update, then it would be nice to know, when and how Microsoft added support for TLS 1.3 to Windows/Internet Explorer for a version as close as possible to what we have in Windows 2000.

This type of research can be done without having any skills in programming. But it still helps the person whoever ends up writing the patch. There aren't many who have the skills to backport new features and write a clean and working update for end users. So the todo list of those persons are usually pretty full. Any help to reduce the burden from the bottle neck is often appreciated.

Adding support for TLS 1.3 support in principle is one thing. A clean integration into the operating system is another thing. For example being able to activate/deactive support through the internet options like with the other standards would be nice, too. However, it adds more work to the undertaking.
