As title, which was the first version of windows to connect to the internet, and which was the first to have networking support.

Windows For Workgroups 3.1 had basic network support, as did DOS with the correct drivers. Internet Explorer first came with WFW 3.1 as far as I can remember.

Trumpet wrote a socket stack for Windows 3.0.

I'm also sure there were TCP/IP stacks for MS-DOS too, so they would have been supported under all windows versions in a roundabout way.

Windows for workgroups (Windows 3.11) was the first version of Windows to have an official TCP/IP stack.
 
  Better than yours. C*nt.
What's already been posted TBH, WfW3.11 was the first 'official' networked Windows but previous versions could when running a 3rd party piece of software.

Still got a 3.11 VM somewhere. Cos I'm cool.

I have the install files for Windows (technically windows 1.0) in my collection somewhere.

It's rubbish.

I also used Windows 2 at school. That sucked big time :)
