Windows 95 had TCP/IP from the very first version, inherited and enhanced from Windows for Workgroups.

The original retail gold package didn't have Internet Explorer included, so it only had the TCP/IP stack if you chose it in the install process. Every OEM version had mandatory TCP/IP and Internet Explorer however (the OEM RTM came out a bit later and so there was time to squeeze IE in).

So many versions. I just remember wrestling with floppies getting dial up networking on a wIn 95 laptop.
