jkinzer Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 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?

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...

DjmUK Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 [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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOC Veteran Posted November 16, 2004 Veteran Share Posted November 16, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, after installing it (like 5 seconds), it says it will take 26 minutes to prepare to play it..??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
