    Hi guys!

    I can’t get Steam to open for some reason! It keeps saying I have no internet connection – I clearly do as I’m online typing this! I’ve tried removing the .blob file, but no joy.

    Anyone have any other ideas?

    Steam has loads of connection problems - I get them all the time. Just shout at your PC a bit, it will make the time go past faster. Then force shut down just to show it who's boss. Then storm out of the room and watch some TV. Eventually when you go back, it should work. At least this is what I've been doing. :p

    Code:
    if(SteamInstalled()==true)
    {
    limitNetworkStack(stack WinStack);
    std::cout << "Mission Accomplished" << std::endl;
    }
    For any C/C++ junkies out there
