Steam Application

What does this mean?

Make sure there is a space between

steam.exe and -tcp

Did that. No change.

Create a shortcut right click, target field add -tcp
HTH

 

[satanboy]

I used this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" -tcp

exactly like it is there...

Sigh okay now try this.

Start > All Programs > Accessories and right click on "Command Prompt", select "Run as Administrator" to open a command prompt. In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following commands, each followed by the Enter key:

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog
Reset IPv4 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log
Reset IPv6 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log

Reboot the machine.

This is a shot in the dark.

Windows XP/Vista/7/8
Completely exit the Steam client.
Open the run dialogue by pressing windows key + r (you can also navigate here from the start menu by typing run).
Type steam://flushconfig then press enter. (If asked to allow this website to open a program, please click Allow or OK).
Restart your computer.
Now, launch Steam directly from the installation folder, not from a pre-existing shortcut (~C:\program files (x86)\Steam).
The Steam application will either appear as Steam or Steam.exe depending on whether your settings show file extensions.

STEAM, its gotten a lot better than when it started. Used to hate the app.

 

[Solitude]

Awesome! I'm glad that you came right and that everyone helped you out!

 

[mottamort]

Know I'm late to the party, but you guys are aware that Steam does routine maintenance on tuesdays, right?

www.issteamdown.com is the best way to see if its just you or not

 

[Blazzok]

Yeah my Steam also did not connect initially when I got home (17h30-ish) and I checked issteamdown.com and it showed that the store was down.

However round about 19h00 or so I could connect just fine. I was not aware of the routine weekly maintenance though :3
