Steam Connection Problem - Lux Aeterna - 04-24-2006
Could not connect to Steam network.
could be due to a problem with your Internet connection, or the Steam network. Please visit http://www.steampowered.com for more info.
Now, I've tried everything at http://www.steampowered.com any there's been no help. And there's absolutly no problem with my Internet connection.

Is your password/accnt right or wrong? Try checking that
Steam Connection Problem - Lux Aeterna - 04-24-2006
Rofl, They're perfect.
Steam Connection Problem - SilverTears - 04-24-2006
Is there anything wrong with your comp or do you got a firewall blocking any ports to it?
Steam Connection Problem - Lux Aeterna - 04-24-2006
If you've visited the steam site, and read the fact I said that it didnt help you'd realize your comment right there was completly incoherant.
Dyna <3 Thanks for helping. (He helped me fix it)

Yea thats steam for you when i bought half life 2, steam just killed it for me with errors such as the ones you getting blind
Steam Connection Problem - Lux Aeterna - 05-21-2006
Um. Maybe I spoke too soon, for the past week or so I've had the same problem as the inital one
( Could not connect to Steam network.

And I've tried the method that worked the first time, but it decied to stop working... Any help?
Steam Connection Problem - FraterPerdurabo - 05-21-2006
Maybe just reinstall it? Delete the core platform files (keep the game .gcf's) and let Steam redownload them. I can distinctly recall having the same problem ages ago, but I don't remember how I fixed it... If Firewall is on, try it with Firewall off. Also, are you sharing your internet connection?
Steam Connection Problem - Lux Aeterna - 05-21-2006
I've tried reinstalling, and firewall is allowing Steam.
Yes, I'm sharing my internet connection via LAN, this isn't the host CPU either.
Steam Connection Problem - FraterPerdurabo - 05-21-2006
Could be something with your router ;\
If you are sharing your net, perhaps you could try it on the other computers in the network?
Steam Connection Problem - Lux Aeterna - 05-21-2006
Same exact problem there, mate.
Steam Connection Problem - FraterPerdurabo - 05-21-2006
Well, then there is a 99% blatant chance that it's your ISP... If you can be bothered, try tunneling a connection, and direct it to another port? Are you in uni by any chance, because my brother has the same thing at UCL. He has to tunnel his connection, because many ports have been closed.

- Dutch Telecom (Steam traffic blocked)
- ISPFree (Steam traffic blocked)
- TalkTalk (bandwidth throttling reduces download speeds)
- Bluewin (Firewall blocks Steam from provider side - must be disabled through provider's service portal)
And I wouldn't know how to "tunnel my connection" either, or how to connect to another port. (unless thats ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew which doesn't work.)

This is actually more complicated... Tunneling is a bitch, and after that you will probably lag as well... Can you connect to battle.net though?
Steam Connection Problem - Lux Aeterna - 05-22-2006
I can connect to battle.net.

Just for clarification, where are you at? It sounds like a closed port...
