Hey guys, I had this problem for ever (on both mac mini and now windows 7). I try to connect to steam on my pc (windows 7 now) and i'm told that "Steam is having trouble connecting to servers".
this happened with my mac mini which used wi-fi and now my windows 7 (which uses this "Netgear" plug).
For more information, I can't connect to Minecraft multiplayer servers, Battlefield heroes servers.
Hope this helps deduce problems.

Thank you in advance PCNOOB out

You may need to open up ports on the router and port forward them to your PC's IP address.

Use this link to get an idea of what port numbers and how to do it on your router.
