Re: Steam problem
Had exactly the same problem yesterday on my mums machine, When we checked we had a old version of steam still on the machine and we thought it was a conflict.
We wanted steam for Counterstrike. We uninstalled counterstrike, Removed a old dialer from the network connections. Then it worked. Not sure which part of what we did corrected it, but eventually it did work, Try checking old dialers first.

Re: Steam problem
Gareth how many forums do you think I have posted this on? 
Tucker, dialers? Thats for dial up is it not? I do have other stuff in the network connection but they are disabled.

Re: Steam problem
Well is there a way I can tell Steam to use which connection? For instance there is a wireless connection and also another IEE bus one and my one I use which is the LAC (Local Area Connection) which is used for everything since it is in use the others are disabled, is it possible Steam is trying to use one of the others? if so how can I make Steam initiate through the LAC?

Nope, thats a last resort, I want to try other things I have not tried, doing what you said will be extremely hard.

Re: Steam problem
Seriously, mate, if I was you, I'd just unplug your PC and move it to the other room where the cable modem is, and try connecting without using the router... it'll save so much time (for you and everyone else) and faffing around.

Re: Steam problem
I agree with kronas. Until you try your PC direct to the internet therefore eliminating the router we cannot be sure that the problem lies with the router. If you do this rather simple check it might reveal the router as the problem. If it is the router that is at fault then a factory reset might just cure your 8 months of problems.
