I've posted this somewhere else but thought id post it here aswell just incase.

Ive been trying to connect to steam for 3 days with no luck.

So today i decided to try the standard ADSL modem, and it worked! i got straight onto the server list.

The router im using is a Netgear DG834v2. Anyone know anything that might stop steam connecting?

Save your settings,re-set router,then check for new firmware from netgear online user interface.

Not same problem but mine had started to drop me from cs,and so far firmware update has cured it. <_<

Check your connection settings aswell. Sometimes mine is automaticly set to 56k...
And I have ADSL for over 2 years now.... :angry:

This page usually has the latest beta firmwares for that router if the most current released version on the Netgear Support Page isn't working for you.

I'm running beta release 2.10.17 on my V1 DG834G and it's as solid as a rock.

Edit: D'oh! It looks like Netgear have 2.10.17 available on their support page. Oh well, the first link usually has the latest firmwares before Netgear post them up on their site.

I had an issue (that steam blamed on router firmwear, yeah right like its nothing to do with the latest update you fangos! and i only thought it worked before steam updated!!!!!)

Anyway i digress. I solved the problem of being kicked 30secs into the game and recieveing various console message about invalid whats its by adding some commands to the advanced launch options in steam for each game. I'll have to dig them up.

I didn't solve the problem by changing anything on my router which was FINE and hadn't be CHANGED in fricking months!

Is the standard ADSL modem that works USB or Ethernet?

and

A complete long-shot I realise... Do you run a software firewall? Would it have been updated over the weekend? And if so, is Steam still on its list of trusted applications?
