Winsock error for no reason?

[Bingocat4]

I've been leaning how to do multiplayer stuff with a library called Enet and Allegro. Today I decided to work on it some more. When I tried to run it, it gave me a lot of weird errors that I think have to do with winsock. I undid everything that I was working on and it still gave the weird errors. I have no idea why it would randomly mess itself up... Here is the list of errors. Well the error was way too long. Tell me if you need to see the rest of it.

Yeah this one aggravates me all the time too. You need to add #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN to the top of your project before including 'windows.h' to prevent it from including the older 'winsock.h' file which conflicts with 'winsock2.h'.

Oh wow nice simple solution. Thanks!
