Cannot Connect

:( So I'm having a problem connecting to Steam on my laptop... It sends me to the Steampowered.com support page but THAT doesn't seem to be working either. I get all the way to downloading the map of a server, and then halfway through Steam kicks me, saying, "Unable to connect". Can anybody tell me what's going on?

I've never had Steam on my laptop before. Before I completed downloading Counterstrike, Steam mentioned something about my video card not being in their database. :confused: But I'm pretty confident that I've got a high-grade video card... Brand new Sony laptop built for gaming...

Did you update your driver, did you forward the correct port on your laptop, does your firewall is blocking steam/hl2 ?

I forgot I posted in here :p Well I scanned for new hardware for my driver but the only answer I got was that it was already up to date. I was messing around with ports yesterday.. I'm not sure it was a wise thing to do. I even turned off the firewalls for a bit to see if they were the problem but obviously not.. I screwed something up to the point of no return, and ended up with no internet connection because of my network adapter. :confused:

Unfortunately, CounterStrike still does not work. I spent all day working on my computer - I think I'll leave it alone now. :p Thank you for your help!
