Hey guys, I'm sure that this question has already been answered. If so, could someone direct me to the answer. The problem is that, steam.exe cannot access the Internet. My Internet service is fine, and I have not had any problems with steam accessing the Internet in the past. The problem only started a few days ago, and I am not sure what the cause is. I have tried basically everything. I visited Steams troubleshooting site, i manually bypassed the router to the modem and the problem persisted, so the problem isn't the router. I hard reset both the router and modem. I deleted the clientregistry.blob. I uninstalled wine and steam with apt-get remove --purge wine, and deleted the .wine folder in /home/ to remove settings and then added the wine repository and downloaded wine1.3 and reinstalled steam using sh winetricks steam. The problem persists, only now I can't even finish installation b/c it can't contact the servers. I get an error message "Steam.exe (main exception): To run Steam, you must first connect to the Internet." WHAT DO? Computer specs below.
