Steam causes my entire internet to crash.

Have you talked to Steam Support yet?

**Interests** · 07-02-11, 01:56 AM

Yes, I sent in a ticket this evening- we'll see where it gets me!

They usually can get you fixed...Scion is just a bitter Steam hater.

Still waiting for the ol' Steam support, but I believe it'll happen eventually!

Well, the response I got asked me to update my router's firmware, and that was it. I did that, but it didn't appear to help at all :-/ Now there's a sadface moment.

have you tried the other suggestions in the list above?

Have you tried connecting directly to the cable/dsl/whatever modem?

Yes, I tried the direct connection- unless I completely did it wrong (which is not beyond the range of possibilities), it didn't even recognize that I had directly connected to the computer

check your local machine network adapter`s registry etc. What internet security software do you run or recently removed? Sounds like your network adapter not your router or modem.

When it goes out try going into control panel /network connections/local area connections or whatever you named it and reseting the network adapter or just disable it then enable it.
If your internet reconnects then you may want to research setting your network adapters registry back to default.
Hell what do I know try getting a hammer and giving it a good thrashing.
