Windows NT 3.51 on the Internet - What Still Works?

Windows NT 3.51 is often the forgotten link in Microsoft history. With only one year between its release and the arrival of Windows NT 4.0, most people never got the chance to use it unless they worked in a corporate office. In this video, I install NT 3.51 on 86Box to see if this 1995 operating system can still handle the internet today—without using a web browser. We take a look at: The Setup: The classic struggle of configuring IRQ and I/O addresses for sound and network cards. Usenet: Accessing newsgroups using Outlook Express. Streaming: Playing video files over the network via RealPlayer. Email: connecting a modern Gmail account to vintage Eudora Lite. File Transfer: Moving files around the old-school way with WS_FTP. If you're a fan of retro tech and have never seen this operating system in action, this video offers a great opportunity to take a look around and see what it's capable of.
