    I'm starting to think that the ''For Workgroups'' versions, NT versions and the ''Server'' versions, have something familiar. So it's like the ''For Workgroups'' version was the first ''Server'' version.

    The first official Microsoft Windows Server is "Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1"

    Microsoft Windows for Workgroup (from 3.1) began to support Network officially.
    Of couse it is available to use on Server.
    But it is Not for meaning official "Server" version.

    How should I use the .7z ones(the ones that are loose files in a 7zipped folder)?

    Either use them directly in DOSBox, or create an ISO with the files (I use BurnAware Free for this).

    This truly helps me a lot.
    But I'm only wondering what's the differences between version 3.11 & version 3.11a?
  • PawnPawn
    The difference between 3.11 and 3.11a, is that in the later they removed compression from the bundled Remote Access software, due to the Stacker lawsuit.

    Didn't Windows for Workgroups 3.11 come with dialup networking and IE 3 preinstalled?
  • SomeGuySomeGuy
    No. Windows for Workgroups does not include internet dial-up, or a web browser.

    Windows for Workgroups 3.11 does include a tool called "Remote Access" that similar to Internet dial-up, in that it uses a modem and dials in to a Windows NT Remote Access server. However communication is limited to Lan Manager/NetBUI. There is no TCP/IP.

    Notably, the very original gold release of Windows 95 also did not include a web browser, although it did include TCP/IP dial-up. OEM and the "A" versions usually included IE 1.

    Internet Explorer 3 was not even released until 1996 and first included with Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2.
