Windows 95 support for 32-bit components includes the redirector, the protocol, the network adapter, and File and Printer Sharing services. Written to run in a multitasking environment, these components take up no real-mode memory and offer fast and stable networking.
Windows 95 comes with 32-bit versions of an IPX/SPX-compatible protocol and TCP/IP (with a DHCP client). A variety of other protocols and 16-bit network clients are also supported.
