I'm new to steam but a few weeks ago I made an account and bought just cause 2 because it was like 3 or 4 quid. So I just downloaded steam so I could finnaly download the game I bought but it says connecting for ages then says 'cannot connect to steam network. It could be something to do with your internet connection or the steam network.' So is steam down at the moment or this there something wrong at my end? Everything else seems to be fine with my connection.
Just built new P.C cannot connect to steam account?

Steam is running ok right now for me, could try right click and run as administratoron the application exe in your program files?

was going to suggest firewalls, routers etc too 
See here for which ports need to be opened (provided the suggested firewall permissions doesn't work)/

that happened to me about 40 mins ago but on the 2nd attempt i got in
Yeah I was having some issues earlier too. Kept getting disconnects.
Thought it was an OCUK competitor ban first of all
I may have found a solution to the disconnects if it helps anyone, although I could log into steam with no issue, downloading anything just wasn't happening, everything just sat at 0kbs/s, so in the settings I opted in for the latest beta, re-started steam and everything was nice and fast again. So it may just be a bug in the current build of steam.

Disable peergaurdian or peerblock type programs if you have them.
