Steam not connecting when i boot pc?

[KozMic]

could someone please tell me why when i reboot or turn on my pc steam never connects the first time?

i dont think its me connection as msn signs in ok.

i have to retry the connection which cant be right (everytime)

is there any chance that norton is blocking it from connecting?

thanks for the help in advance

if you have a firewall (which you should) it should load before steam, i think zonealarm (which i have) blocks all internet access until it's begun monitering the connection
