In reply to Neozeed. And here we are, 6 years later with it running Apache... But not on a PS3.

Windows NT 3.1 runs great in old versions of vpc.
I use connectix VPC 4 on my xp computer and it runs fast.
However, the network adapter is different (DC21041) and hard to find a driver for however i have tracked down a driver for it.
Here it is.

I've updated the links so they download from me now... It was a pain as it seems the VMWare driver disappeared.

Luckily I saved it.

Anyways all should be well now.

Yes, I can get onto the internet, I use a wired lan access from my host pc, so it's simply a matter of assigning an ip address from my lan.

I suppose if you install a "MS loopback" adapter on your pc, then bind VPC to that, then enable the Windows internet connection sharing you could bring NT 3.1 onto the internet that way, but it's a little involved for the average user….

I do have a Windows NT 3.1 VM on the internet right here:

Although thats on Qemu running on a Sony Playstation 3.

Thanks for the help, are you able to get the internet work in NT 3.1?

well you'll have to know your LAN to setup TCP/IP.

the NAT option for Virtual PC is all the same…. But you won't be able to get files easily on & off your machine… If you have a wired Ethernet it's best to use that.

NT 3.5 is light years beyond 3.1. 3.1 was pushed out the door, as the win32 api isn't finished, there is some issues with it's inability to use MSVCRT dll's and of course the TCP/IP stack being that horrible outsourced spider one.

Thanks a lot. The audio and video drivers work now! BTW, how to config the TCP/IP, it has no DHCP and I don't know what to do. And I can't get any IE version works on it, every time it said "Call to Undedined Dynalink". Do you know any IE can work on NT 3.1?

open up control panel, then look for drivers, then add sound blaster 1.x

Set the IO for 220, and the interrupt for 5.

the CD driver doesn't work so it'd be pointless, but with networking you can just map drives.
