Connection problems

Every once in a while I get the "failed to connect" message when I attempt to launch steam. Reinstalling the application solves the problem, but is there an easier way to do it? I'm using a router btw, and on the valve support site they claim that you can't connect to steam network if you're using a router - well I can

In past, i played too though a router. No problem for me. Just need to disable DMZ zone on the router.
It's strange a new installation of steam solved the problem.
have u tried thediagnostic tool integrated in steam : steam://support/?Issues=Connection*
Usefull to check if there is a problem to connect to steam networks...
The following ports must be reachable :
UDP Port: 27000 - 27040
TCP Port: 27020 - 27040

You cant play on steam with a router?
They should have told me 2 years ago, when I installed mine... I would know that I am breaking a law of nature by playing on it..

Since 2 days... For me, it's pain for to connect to Steam networks.
Bloody update perhaps. Now it's near 2-3 minutes, it was less than 10s before.

Looks like life finds ever more amusing ways of getting you pissed off, Callahan.

not a firewall or/and antivirus issue ? (try to desactive it for a minute to check).
