Maybe it's from back before Windows had a built-in TCP/IP stack? If it were a third-party/optional driver, having files related to it in a path under system32\d

Maybe it's from back before Windows had a built-in TCP/IP stack? If it were a third-party/optional driver, having files related to it in a path under system32\drivers would make sense.
- mjevans 5y agoBack around Win 95 when they added networking it was based off of (IIRC) BSD's TCP stack and related tools. They were an optional 'third party' driver of sorts, but shipped by the first party. I'm not positive about WinNT or Win3.11 (for workgroups?)

Says '94 for that, and summer of '93 for NT 3.1 debut: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trumpet_Winsock https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trumpet_Winsock https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT_3.1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT_3.1
