Hi everyone,

I've this problem: I've bought the game HL2 and now I'm trying to install it. It likes to connect with steam for activation, but I'm behind a firewall and there are no proxy or something like this, in the steam properties. There are no properties at all, am I right?! What can I do?

Thanks

First try temporarily disabling your firewall and see if it activates.

This FAQ (http://steampowered.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/steampowered.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=160&p_created=1093381261&p_sid=dSRNIWth&p_lva=&%20p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PS ZwX<br%20/>%203Jvd19jbnQ9MTcmcF9zZWFyY2hfdHlwZT1zZWFyY2hfbmwm cF9<br%20/>%20wcm9kX2x2bDE9JnBfY2F0X2x2bDE9JnBfY2F0X2x2bDI9Jn Bfc<br%20/>GFnZT0xJnBfc2VhcmNoX3RleHQ9ZmlyZXdhbGw*&p_li=) on the STEAM support site shows which ports STEAM needs open to work.

I run Zone Alarm firewall and have no trouble running/updating via STEAM.
