Steam Problem

[Belisarius]

Steam starts up and it says "Steam Updating..." then after like 10 minutes it says "Fatal Error: ConnectionReset Win Sock Error 10054" and exits out, I can't even get to the point where I have download problems!

From microsoft, that error meens:

"An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. This normally results if the peer application on the remote host is suddenly stopped, the host is rebooted, the host or remote network interface is disabled, or the remote host uses a hard close (see setsockopt for more information on the SO_LINGER option on the remote socket). This error may also result if a connection was broken due to keep-alive activity detecting a failure while one or more operations are in progress. Operations that were in progress fail with WSAENETRESET. Subsequent operations fail with WSAECONNRESET."

Which translates to "Valves servers are being accessed by too many users and are currently spacking out."
