Steam needs to be online to update. Please check you're network connection.

[-Zimbi]

OK so 6 days ago i tried to log into steam and it wouldent, it just kept not responding.
So i unistalled steam and reinstalled it. That worked fine, but when it is dowloading the 110.268KB update i get this message:

STEAM NEEDS TO BE ONLINE TO UPDATE. PLEASE CHECK YOU'RE NETWORK CONNECTION.

These are the things i have done to try solve this issue with no luck.

1. I have checked my McAfee firewall and it allows Steam to have full access.

2. I have checked my router and it is compatible with steam.

3. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Steam numerous times.

4. I have Deleted all the files in the steam file except for Steamapps, userdata and Steam.exe, then restarted my computer and launched steam through the Steam.exe in the instilation folder.

5. I have gone to regedit to see if Steams offline mode was set to 1. but i do not even have an offline mode to veiw.

6. I have checked the ports of my router and they all allow Steam. I have also reset my router and turned it off for 10sec.

7. I have sent a ticket to Steam Support and they just told me to do what i did do in no.1 and no.4 and no.2 and no.6. It took them 4 days to reply with that solution wich i already did, so i sent them a reply and its been another 3 days for them to reply and STILL COUNTING...

8. I have checked my Window Update History to find that Ralink update that some people on these forums have mentioned to roll back to a previos update, but i do not have such an update because i am not on a wireless network. But there were a bunch of security updates that were installed the same day i noticed this issue. most of them are : Security Update For Microsoft .Net FrameWork 4. Client Profile.

9. I have run a virus scan and detected nothing.

10. I have punched the wall many times almost braking my fist.

The only other thing i can think of, is that i've gone past my data usage by 10gb so the internet is slow at this point.Surely this cannot be the issue though.
Please Help.

Flush DNS. Start -> Run -> CMD -> IPCONFIG /flushdns

Well, after trawling these threads for a few hours I tried some packet checking with Wireshark and trying some of the GET request manually in the browser, I found it was CyberPatrol causing this error for me, silently refusing the requests to {ПРЕМАХНАТА ВРЪЗКА}media.steampowered.com

e.g.

http://media.steampowered.com/client/bins_win32.zip.523a668e509a1380ecd60043573c5c48030638e8
Category: Other Unwanted
Reason: Inappropriate Website

Put {ПРЕМАХНАТА ВРЪЗКА}media.steampowered.com in the allowed list and it ran like a charm

For me, I was out of disk space on my disk that has steam installed on it.

alright, now I've found the answer to this big issue. What I did (and worked for me) was: copied the steamapps folder somewhere else, downloaded Steam in another pc, then copied the files to my pc and steamapps to my steam folder.
Now steam will work but will not have access to steam servers, for this:
"Exit Steam.
Click Start > Run (or Windows Key + R)
Type inetcpl.cpl and click OK.
Click the Connections tab.
Click the LAN settings button.
If any items on this window are checked, uncheck them.
Click OK to close any open windows and restart your computer.

Hope it worked.

Although, I didn't have to restart my computer :)
