Hey Guys.

Me and my friends computer are both having problems connecting to programs, my computer can't connect to msn, and his can't connect to steam...But I can connect to steam and he can connect to msn. Just wondering if it could have happened at the lan since everything stopped working when we were there.

Checked our firewalls, permissions on the programs etc.

Halp?

Thanks.

I'm no admin so i may be wrong (admins please correctme if i am)

But i was under the impression internet was ONLY avaliable at Respawn for STEAM UPDATES and NOTHING else.

Perhaps you used up your allocated bandwidth being online on steam, therefore were unable to use MSN and your friend used his up on MSN becomign un able to sign on to steam.

If you want to have more access to the internet during respawn can i suggest a Mobile 3G router. I was using one to play CS online this respawn and i got very decent speeds.

I didn't even use steam or msn at the event, or download anything.

Going to reinstall windows anyway, hopefully will fix the problem.

With the exception of picking up some malware at Respawn, there should be nothing that could cause such issues. Pure coincidence, I say.

Everything stopped working at Respawn because we block everything except Steam, and even Steam was giving half the players issues. The method we use to block these is done at our router, so once you've left the LAN it will not effect you in any way.

Problem solved... It turned out the date on my computer was 2009 not 2010. And that was stopping me from logging in.

I blame Lewis.

I believe having a wrong date screws up SSL certs, since the certs are only valid for a certain time period. https:// sites would also have not worked.

Wrong dates does screw with SSL certificates. Particularly if your date set is currently prior to the certificate issue date.
