[SOLVED] Steam Error - Could Not Connect To Steam Network

[fpsquadrasnipar]

I had to login to Steam from my internet browser to write this discussion. I've been trying to solve this problem for god knows when. Days turned to weeks, weeks into months. The last time I was able to play a game was May 12th 2013, over 8 months ago (exactly 251 days ago), simply because I couldn't login.

This is exactly what the error message states every time I try to login:

Steam - Error
Could not connect to Steam network.
This could be due to a problem with your Internet connection, or with the Steam network. Please visit www.steampowered.com for more info.

I have tried:
1. IP reset
2. Winsock reset
3. After reset, reboot
4. Full PC scan
5. Updating Steam
6. Troubleshoot Steam Network Connection
7. Firebind Test - Result: Successful
8. Updated all programs
9. Troubleshoot my network
10. Being patient

This has gone on for far too long.

Can’t believe no one has mentioned the one method that has successfully worked for me so far. I faced this issue this morning, and it seemed to be a problem with my network. If anyone’s facing this issue in 2019, try the following steps.

1. Run Command Prompt as administrator.
2. In Command Prompt, type “netsh winsock reset”. (Without the inverted commas)
3. Press enter and give it a couple of seconds.
4. Restart windows.
5. Run Steam.

That was pretty much it. None of the other methods worked for me, including deleting the userdata and other steam files. This is the only method that seemed to work for me.

how do you find command prompt

open start
type cmd
Run cmd.exe as administrator and tipe this: netsh winsock reset
restart windows

Or just maybe their servers went back online.......

Found a fix that worked for me. Got a new computer with freshly installed windows and stuff. I installed steam and it worked for a while, hour or so. After that it randomly disconnected and I couldn't connect anymore. I tried every fix I found, resetting ipconfig stuff and doing the netsh winsock fixes but nothing worked. Here's a fix that worked for me:

I opened Internet Explorer / security options / security / unchecked enable protected mode / I set security level to the minimum / connections / LAN settings / unchecked proxy server and checked Automatically detect settings / OK

After this steam worked normally again.

Probably no one will see this, but just in case someone is reading this in 2019, and don't want to bother uninstalling/reinstalling:
I fixed this by installing Steam from the site on top of the version I already had. It overwrote whatever files were corrupt or missing.

I had a weird error - whenever I tried to Open the Steam App/program from my desktop. Multiple attempts all failed. When I installed steam games, they create these desktop shortcuts and I tried opening the desktop shortcuts instead to get straight to my game. That made steam finally start working. Not sure what went wrong.

Yep! this worked for me.
No idea what happened - was playing SDV multiplayer last night and today Steam just wouldn't run - but this fixed it and it's working fine now :) Thank you!!!
