Click the internet tab. Click change filters. Under game choose "Team Fortress". You cannot play Portal or Half-life 2 online. You can play Half-life 2 Deathmatch and Counter Strike Source though.

When you've chosen your game, click 'refresh all' for the servers to show. If nothing shows your router / antivirus / firewall could be blocking Steam.

If you're behind a router, then www.portforward.com
Follow the instructions there, and allow Steam ports. Also like Glenny said, check your firewall/AV too.
