Steam validation rejected

Yoyo!

I just moved my gamingcomputer and I have no internet for it. I prepared some offline games to play. Portal 2 and team fortress 2 for example.

As soon as I try to play singleplayer/training against AI it rejects and gives me the message ''STEAM validation rejected''.
Is there anything I can do offline from the computer? Or is Steam going to reject me from playing those games offline???????

Open your console and type "sv_lan 1" without the quotes. Also works on Portal 2 and probably any other game that may give you the same error.

Let me know if that works.
