Lots of stuff went on the past week, and I'm here to share that with all of you.
As few of you already know. I was in Utah for a whole week because of my grandpas death (From June 2nd to June 10th). Throughout the week I DID have internet until I went up to my cabin in upstate Utah, which was on June 6th.
I was without internet for 2 days and busy working on my EXEs mainly.
On June 8th I returned home to find that my internet was messed up.
How was it messed up you ask?
Well, It was messed up in a way that wouldn't let me connect to anything that used a TCP connection. The things that I couldn't connect to were Internet explorer, the Tortoise SVN client, the Srb2 Master server, Bomberman Online, and mIRC (and other IRC clients). On mIRC, the SVN and Bomberman Online, it said I couldn't connect because of a problem with creating Sockets.
The following day (June 10th, or rather, yesterday), I was home, safe and sound. Although that socket problem was still happening on my home connection. Later THAT night It occured to me that I could use Srb2 as a downloader and download a exe/program/object that could be imported in a wad. Penopat was lucky enough to have a WinSockFix EXE so he put that in a wad for me and I was able to download the EXE from a server that he hosted (and from joining using his IP).
Once I downloaded the wad I extracted the file and ran it, I was unsure of what to do so I clicked the button which said "Fix" and it automatically fixed my internet issue. Although I did get yelled at by my parents because it was 11:30 PM by the time it finished fixing it and it was around 8 PM when I started.
So everything is fixed with my internet and I am able to go on IRC again and use my internet. I would like to thank everyone that helped me fix my internet issue, mainly Penopat because he gave me a program to automatically fix the issue and I didn't know that program would be able fix the issue in the first place, Nor did I have the file in the first place.
As I said before, I don't have ANY logs of what happened but I'm sure other people like Hikari, Sonict, Velocity, Starblazer or Velocity might have some logs.
For any of you who care, this is the WinSockf.exe that Penopat gave me.

- mIRC: * Unable to create Socket
- SVN: (I don't remember what it Exactly said)
- Bomberman Online: Socket() error;
