Can't connect to Steam network!?

[TheMBmulti]

Hi everyone! I've got a problem with my steam. Every time I try to log in, steam says

"Could not connect to the Steam network.


Either check your connection and click 'Retry', or start Steam in
'Offline Mode'.

Network troubleshooting tips


RETRY CONNECTION START IN OFFLINE MODE
QUIT"

And steam does this from one day to another even though I've got a very good internet connection (as you can see since I'm talking to you). If anyone has an idea on how to fix this problem, please awnser. Thanks in advance. (btw steam does the same thing on my laptop, and I haven't even installed any game on my laptop, so reinstalling steam shouldn't be the solution).

P.S. this is my first post here so I'm sorry if it's messy or weird or anyting.

Here is the most easiest and less complicated solution to get Steam working.
When I first installed Steam, it wouldn't let me able to connect to update, fixed the problem then I got the same problem as every one else.

Here is the solution:

1. Go to Computer in your Start button on your computer and go to Local Disc.
2. Go to Program Files (x86).
3. Locate Steam.
4. Go to Steam.exe (If it doesn't show, then it show be just Steam.)
5. Right-click on it and click on Create Shortcut.
6. Once the shortcut is made, right-click it again and click on Properties.
7. A interface appears. In the box which says 'Target', click on that and at the end of the file link do this

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

8. Click Apply and go on Steam (Unless Steam is on then close it.)

And there you go! You should be able to login and download what you want with ease. When I fixed the problem with this solution I cried in joy.

LOL.

Hope it helps you and since you found the answer, do tell everyone about it as this is the easist solution to make Steam work.
