Error -108 in CEF refers to "AddressInvalid", which means the IP address your Steam client received from your DNS server was something nonsensical like 0.0.0.0.

It's possible this happened due to a network hiccup.

On Windows, you can try WindowsKey+R and then typing

ipconfig /flushdns

and pressing enter. A black window will briefly pop up indicating that the DNS cache has been cleared, which will make your computer look up the address of Steam again.

I've done this... also manually set my DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as advised in some websites.

The safe mode still didn't load the steam store... as to whether this is since the last update... I honestly have not logged in to the PC since September of last year so irdk

Both firefox and chrome couldn't load my steam store
Chrome says "This site can’t be reachedThe webpage at https://store.steampowered.com/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
ERR_ADDRESS_INVALID"
Firefox says "Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.
We can’t connect to the server at store.steampowered.com.
If you entered the right address, you can:
Try again later
Check your network connection
Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)"

They are both able to load plenty of other websites and I'm now commenting from my PC so it's probably not the connectivity. I'm not sure though...

Hmm, if you open a cmd or powershell window and enter

ping -n 1 store.steampowered.com

Does the address look reasonable?

Again we can help you if you report stuff more accurately to us. A "it don't work" is useless.

Here's the reason why the "Safe mode with networking" is a valuable first step.

By running Windows that way and then opening Steam ONLY, it means that nothing else is going on within your PC. So it largely cuts things neatly.

If it now works then it demonstrates that the thing causing the inability to connect is some software on your system, most likely. However, if it still manifests the same way, then it's likely to be something outside of your PC - maybe the network card, all the through cabling, sockets, router, all the way up to your ISP and beyond.

This first step is recommended because it neatly divides your troubleshooting in two.

Stop use Google DNS server , they have been said in over 10 20 years by most it experts, thats means Millions of IT user on the globe know them, and thats why ISP DNS could be seen as better spread out policy then google's DNS server, any helper here can tell you them ip adr they are not uncommon as test solutions.

nothing wrong with DNS test, that's not same as keep use them , same as steam user keep stay in Steam BETA mode ( equal BAD )

This didn't help at first but the explanation that the problem with DNS helped -- apparently I had a line in my hosts file with "0.0.0.0 store.steampowered.com" and after removal and flushing DNS cache everything worked. I just don't understand why it did work for half a year before that.. Btw, where did you find the description of the error?

If you have any internet problem contact own ISP, they are not always right in the whatever upgrade they are doing, sometimes things go wrong then it should not do so.

ps.
Most standard connection have a DNS and gateway, and router in NAT, so when that is said, it should just work. i mean if 1 year old baby if he could punt it at wallplug it should work.
reason i said 1 yearold so all get it. ( we all have a ISP, problem is more what service or help they will do about it. )

People should take this serious we can't all be at google or whatever DNS server, no ISP in the world can handle 1 billion steam account. DNS request, this is why most ISP has own DNS server.

ps.
you also have steam support, not all codes is so simple to understand like 108. ( google it, it sounds like you hammer the door )

When you know DNS server and the way they made it in the old days, also why the biggest ISP has forced a specific DNS now do you dont can pick 1 out of 5 , because ppl cant and never will pick the fewest DNS ppl are on, and thats why ISP has done this spreadout policy. and why it matter..

All this is in your ISP area and they should actual know this already, but we have all seen scrip fail like in WoW and all user end at one server, and again its human mistakes. same can have happend at DNS server put all on same DNS server , and this is why its your own ISP problem. is they have DNS issue.

And we are back at DNS server issue not a steam issue , no one can get a 0.0.0.0

Any network expert can tell you thats not possible thats a netwrok ID of class A
how you got that ip adr. set as DNS just make it even worse.

well anyway you got it fixed, but this is more a if any other get a adr with 4 x 0 thats lead to nowhere.

[Iceira]

im only point it out if you know your ip adr class ABC then you know ID of network class is not accesable.

Not even MS ip adr do this if you have no network, so sounds like a linux issue maybe or some scripts did something. ( here is the problem maybe not repeetable even untill next steam user have same issue someday. )
