I had Ethernet in my dorm room for a year with Windows 3.11 for Workgroups and never did get it to connect to the interweb. (I had some pretty clever helpers from the Harvard Computer Society, too. Nobody could figure it out.) One of my greatest days as a computer user was the day I installed Windows 95 and got Internet Explorer to load playboy.com—oh, and also fas.harvard.edu. :-)
(Of course, all good things must come to and end, and after Windows 98 was through I switched to Linux/Firefox and then to OS X/Firefox/Chrome.)
