Download driver package
The package contains:
- Microsoft Network Client 3.0
- Network card driver for AMD PCNET cards (NDIS2)
- CD-ROM driver
- Sound driver for SoundBlaster 16
- DOSIdle tool
Basically, I recommend copying all files in the archive into an INSTALL directory within the virtual machine, such as C:\INSTALL. Below I'll outline the steps to install each component.
 | Microsoft Network Client 3.0 / Network card driver: - In DOS mode, change to the MSCLIENT directory and run SETUP.EXE.
- As the adapter, select "*Network adapter not shown on list below" and enter C:\INSTALL\AMDPCNET as the driver directory to install the drivers for the "Advanced Micro Devices PCNET Family" adapter.
- Configure other settings & protocols as you wish. There is a good step-by-step article at WindowsNetworking.com.
- Note that the TCP/IP protocol, which is vital for connecting to the Internet, is not installed by default.

 | Activating the network in Windows 3.1: - In Windows, open Windows Setup and go to Options > Change System settings > Network
- Select "Microsoft Network (or 100% Compatible)". "Microsoft LAN Manager 2.1" also works.
Important: The MS-DOS network drivers must be loaded for the network to function in Windows. |
 | CD-ROM driver: In DOS mode, go into the CDROM directory and run INSTALL.EXE. You should use the "Easy Install" option unless you have problems. |
 | Sound driver: - The included drivers are for DOS and Windows.
- First you have to change a setting in the virtual machine config file, to get the SB16. This is because VMware products supply a different type of sound card per default. Power off the VM, open the configuration file (.vmx) in an editor, find the line starting with "sound.virtualDev" and change it to sound.virtualDev = "sb16". The line may not be present, in this case you have to add it. After the change power on the VM again.
- In DOS mode, go to the SB16 directory and run INSTALL.EXE. You should accept the defaults unless you have problems.
|
 | DOSidle tool: - MS-DOS does not idle the CPU when there's nothing to do. This does not affect the operating system, but when running in VMware products, it takes up all the processor power on the host.
- In DOS mode, start DOSIDLE.EXE from the DOSIDLE directory to activate CPU idling.
- Put it into your AUTOEXEC.BAT to start it automatically when booting.

(Software) Windows for Workgroups 3.11 driver package
I've put together a package containing drivers and important updates for running Windows for Workgroups 3.11 within VMware products. For MS-DOS and Windows 3.1 drivers, take a look at this other package.
Download driver package
The package contains:
- Network card driver for AMD PCNET cards (NDIS2/NDIS3)
- TCP/IP protocol driver
- CD-ROM driver
- Sound driver for SoundBlaster 16
- Y2K Update for File Manager
- Euro support
- Super VGA driver patch
Basically, I recommend copying all files in the archive into an INSTALL directory within the virtual machine, such as C:\INSTALL. Below I'll outline the steps to install each component.
 | Network card driver: - Requires that the Microsoft Network was installed when Windows was installed.
- In Windows, open Windows Setup and go to Options > Change Network Settings > Network Drivers > Drivers > Add Adapter > Unlisted or Updated Network Adapter
- Browse to the AMDPCNET directory to install the drivers for the "Advanced Micro Devices PCNET Family" adapter.
TCP/IP protocol driver: - For connecting to the Internet, this protocol is vital. For other network connections it's optional, depending on what you want to do.
- In Windows, open Windows Setup and go to Options > Change Network Settings > Network Drivers > Drivers > Add Protocol > Unlisted or Updated Protocol
- Browse to the TCP32B directory
- If you only want to use the TCP/IP protocol, you can remove the other protocols like IPX/SPX or NetBEUI. If you want to keep other protocols, you might want to set the TCP/IP protocol as the default protocol.
|
 | CD-ROM driver: In DOS mode, go into the CDROM directory and run INSTALL.EXE. You should use the "Easy Install" option unless you have problems. |
 | Sound driver: - The included drivers are for DOS and Windows.
- First you have to change a setting in the virtual machine config file, to get the SB16. This is because VMware products supply a different type of sound card per default. Power off the VM, open the configuration file (.vmx) in an editor, find the line starting with "sound.virtualDev" and change it to sound.virtualDev = "sb16". The line may not be present, in this case you have to add it. After the change power on the VM again.
- In DOS mode, go to the SB16 directory and run INSTALL.EXE. You should accept the defaults unless you have problems.
|
 | Y2K Update for File Manager: The File Manager shows wrong dates for files changed in or after the year 2000. To fix this, go to the WFWY2KUP directory in DOS mode and run INSTALL.BAT with the name of your Windows directory as parameter, for example "INSTALL C:\WINDOWS". |
 | Euro support: - This updates the keyboard drivers and fonts to include the Euro (€) symbol. It's optional if you don't need Euro support in your VM.
- In DOS mode, go into EURO_DEU directory and run W31_EURO.BAT with the name of your Windows directory as parameter, for example "W31_EURO C:\WINDOWS". Note that this install batch is german.
- The last output of that script should read "Fertig", meaning "Done".
- Then copy the additional Euro fonts from the EUROFONT directory to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.
|
 | Super VGA driver patch: - This is a patch Ken Kato wrote to make Super VGA work under WFW 3.11 in a VMware environment. It might also work for Win 3.1, but I did not test that.
- The patch files are in the VGAPATCH directory, be sure to read the included documentation.
- To test the new graphics mode, I used a colorful LCARS image I found on the net as a wallpaper.
