I suspect most early Windows 3 machines were networked via Novell Netware. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novell Oddly enough my MS-DOS machine while in grad school was networked via a product made by Apple that allowed it to connect to a Mac network. My only use was accessing the department laser printer, but that was huge.

That rings true with my memory, I left the Windows world shortly after 3.11 for Workgroups came out, and there was a lot of Novell around. My job was writing a healthcare information system that used a ISAM database hosted on a Novell server, just starting to investigate SQL.
