Remember, the only computers capable of running a webserver at that time (
well, a "real" one) were Unix machines. I don't think MS had their own TCP/IP
stack for windows at that time. Most likely it (the tcp/ip stack) was bundled
in the slipknot browser so it could comminicate with Unix servers. Hence the
name Unix web browser. This was before M$ bought spyglass, who along with NCSA
developed the first really capable Mosaic browser that ran primarily on Unix
machines but was later ported to Windows 95. (W95 being a quasi-32 bit OS)
