So recently my ethernet port on my motherboard broke and I haven't gotten around to buying a pci ethernet cable adapter for my computer, anyway, steam has been working fine even without internet up until just recently. Pretty much the problem is that whenever I try to login to steam, it comes up with a problem saying "Steam is having trouble connecting to the Steam servers" which means that I can't play pretty much any games on my gaming pc. Is there any way that I can either 1) Fix this problem, or 2) Play my games without having to login to steam?

I'm assuming you dont have wifi...what i have done in the past while waiting for an adapter is tether my smart phone and use the connection through that. might be slower but will tide you over until the adapter arrives
