Are you using a proxy? If yes, set up steam to use it too.

i cant believe steam is still holding up after being bombed by so many people.. i am downloading half life:source at 1.4mb/s !!!! :yes: ive never downloaded that fast.

Does this occur if you aren't on your docking station?

[jkinzer]

The following ports must be open in your firewall and router for Steam and Steam Games to work:

UDP 1200    (used for friends service)

UDP 27000 to 27015 inclusive

TCP 27030 to 27039 inclusive

Does this help? Trying it now on my computer.

[Dashel]

Try turning off ZoneAlarm.

[jkinzer]

IT WORKED! MUAHAHA! Sorry for the caps... I have never used them in a forum, but it mirrors my excitement! :D

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

See I can't help but feel I am meant to have the waterbuggy thing by this point as the barrels I am using should be for another puzzle which I solved..

Where the hell is the waterbuggy then?!

Is your Windows Firewall enabled also? If so, turn that off for now. Reference the ports I posted above to get your firewall(s) to play nice with Steam. Good luck! Off to play...

[afterlife]

steam is down from lack of bandwidth

[jkinzer]

I don't think so. I am about to get into the game now. I think... It is registering my CD Key.

[DjmUK]

[Possible Spoiler!]

Well i'm stuck already.. on my way through the waterways and I just found a lake of green crap and all I can find to get me across it are 4 barrels... tried throwing em in and hopping across and I am just not getting anywhere. Any suggestions?

584932394[/snapback]

I think I know the section, I'm writing it out below in white (so highlight to view):

4 Blue Barrels, and the ramp...place the 4 barrels under the ramp (in that cage), then use the Hovercraft [with a run-up] and fly over :)

man im not familiar with proxys n those ports, wud u be able to help me out

[LOC Veteran]

I'm getting the same error. Really friggin ****in me off. No proxy here. I am on a University connection, so it's not like that's the problem either.

I think that Steam is just bogged down. Go to Steam's website. It is barely loading. Stupid Steam. Great idea Valve!

584932448[/snapback]

I don't know if you know this or not, but if you look at every other post on here lately, it's from some College kid trying to figure out how he/she is going to authenticate and run HL2 behind a College internet connection. The University connection probably is the problem.

I was looking for this aswell - thanks, I'm also downloading it now :)

To be honest, at first I didn't like this idea of STEAM, but I'm seeing the advantages of it now.

However, after installing it (like 5 seconds), it says it will take 26 minutes to prepare to play it..???

Nope. It's because I didn't think about the fact that I needed to open some ports for Steam. :)
