Steam not recognizing my internet (demo)?

[TBolt]

Hello all,

Quick question/problem:

I'm trying to play the demo to see if the game will run on my computer (Civ IV ran great, but I want to make sure Civ V will work for me) and I downloaded Steam for the first time.

When I try to download the Civ V demo itself, I get the message that I need Steam...when I launch Steam, I then get the message that I need to be connected to the Internet, which of course, I am.


Like the thread title states, Steam will not update/launch since it does not recognize that I am on the Internet.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks.

Check your firewall settings perhaps?
