In the early days of the Internet and Microsoft Windows 3.11, what were two components that needed to be installed before Windows could access the Internet using TCP/IP?

• 4Gb of RAM and a solid state disk drive.
• Win32s and Trumpet WinSock
• 16-bit TCP/IP stack and Internet Explorer 4.
• A lot of coffee and a new PC. 

EXPLANATION

If you are installing the Windows 3.x 16-bit version of Netscape Navigator, it requires the Microsoft Win32s software be installed first.
If you received a copy of Win32s on a N.E.O.Net Sign-up Kit disk, then insert Win32s Disk 1 - Setup into your system's floppy drive, run the Setup application as outlined on the disk label, and follow the instructions on-screen.

Windows 3.x also requires that you have a dialer/winsock application such as Trumpet. You may wish to install Trumpet prior to Netscape.

With Windows 3.1/3.11 being a 16 bit operating system, the Win32s allowed certain 32-bit applications to run on the host system.

Trumpet Winsock would act as the modem/network "dialer" to make the connection to your ISP.

Internet Explorer 4 was not released until 1997 for use with Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0, both of these OS's were 32 bit and did not require Win32s or Trumpet Winsock.
