First get a driver, then network services, then a compatible browser. Most of this should be on the web.

Before you get too excited about this, think about internet security. Win 3.1 didn't come with firewalls - they weren't needed in those days. So, before you hook up your PC to the internet via Win 3.1, make sure you understand how you will protect the result from incursions from the net.

I speak from experience. I added Microsoft win32 TCP/IP and networking to my WFWG system, and THEN thought "oops, no firewall". The system had been seriously hacked within 24 hours, and became sufficiently unstable within 48 hours that I had to roll it back to a previous backup that I had taken before I added networking. In essence, I had to remove networking just to keep the environment stable. Sad but true.

Anyway, in the spirit of authenticity, it is interesting to be using dialup and Trumpet Winsock when I need to get on the net, and at the approximately 50 Kb/s I can get over my dialup link, I find that not many of the nasties out there on the net bother me... of course, I am only on line for short periods of time... just like the old days when WFWG 3.11 was in its prime.

Oh, needless to say, my WFWG system is a hobby system, not my day-to-day environment. For that I use SuSE Linux 9.3, on a very fast broadband connection, and behind a very beefy firewall! :-)
