<div class="IPBDescription">and it's **** me off.</div> For some reason I can't connect to Steam, my internet is fine and I can get every website I go to to come up... except www.steampowered.com. Is anybody else having problems connecting to the Steam network? Anyone else having problems connecting to steampowered.com? If so, do you know of a way to fix it?

*Edit* Yeah, it seems to be up to some people and down to others. Are they updating Steam? Adding some new servers? *Edit*
Maybe its something to do with the MyDoom virus? It was supposed to be hitting SCO today sometime, and people were saying it could slow the whole inet down. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Well as I speak Steam is down for me. It is "checking for steam updates" and it suddenly gives the message 'Cannot contact the Steam network, please try later'.
I was chatting with a friend while being in Steam and suddenly I got stuck in Steam. Nothing seemed to work.
So I tried to restart Steam and all I got was a list of games that were not activated. So I restarted my computer and when trying to start Steam again I got that message. In fact I tried it several times and nothing works.
Is my Steam bugged, is it a virus, or should I just wait and try it again tomorrow?
I'm beginnig to be desesparete.
Tx for the help...

I'm over in the west coast, Washington. Could location matter?
Just wait. Steam has only been able to find servers sporadically for me, but it's still working. Just give it time.
