Yes! Way back in the day, before my family had cable¹, by Windows 98 machine was networked to an OS/2 machine that actually had Internet. It also had some weird thing with SOCKS, though I don't fully remember the specifics, just that I had a rough idea of what settings to look for and what to fill them in with. But there was definitely TCP/IP support. I remember the day I migrated my parents off Netscape to Firefox. ¹The cable didn't have anything to do with it. When when finally upgraded to cable, we also got an Ethernet router/switch, so my Windows machine then hooked into that.
