I use a Intel(R) Ethernet Connection I217-LM according to device manager, but I am unable to find any suitable drivers for Windows XP (I have it on a secondary drive). Does anyone have advice or a modified version of the setup built for Windows XP (Professional 32-Bit, if necessary info). Thanks.

2024-06-01T13:16:14+00:00 Thing is, I looked everywhere, nothing. This is because the hardware is made after Windows XP support was ended, this is why I turned to the community to hope that maybe someone has a modified version to work with Windows XP. So yeah I'm kinda **** and I'll never find a driver, that be life ey.
There are no "modified" or any other drivers allowed to be downloaded from Members of this Community's private storage/links.
If it was made after XP Support ended as you say, chances are not good that it would be backwards compatible with XP.

No direct downloads are allowed to be supplied from here, unless it is from the Manufacturer.
You normally get those Drivers directly from the computer or laptop Manufacturer's website for your exact Model number, if XP is supported on that particular model Number.
The Manufacturer of those particular Products also supply the Drivers if compatible with XP and asking for any Driver on the Net will land you with problems.
