Windows 3.1 did not contain any networking code.

WfW 3.11 was the first version to contain a TCP/IP stack, and the TCP/IP update disk for Windows 3.1 was released at the same time. It effectively upgraded 3.1 to 3.11.

I was there - the network stack (was designed to?) break WordPerfect 6, and I remember the grief it gave us, forcing us to choose between networking or word processing. That was a major factor in our office shifting from WordPerfect to Word.

Cheers,
Wol

Windows and WfWg were two different products, both of which had 3.1 and 3.11 releases. But I think a lot of OEMs switched straight from Windows 3.1 to WfWg 3.11.
