Ok to set this straight I have had this problem for ages now, its only become a problem when opening steam, since for some reason recently whenever I have opened steam it has automatically started refreshing servers.

The problem is, when I 'refresh servers', this is on ALL games btw my computer locks up and acts like the CPU is at 100% but its not, which is the wierd thing.

I have an NTL:200 box, Nvidia nforce4 ethernet (running NVFirewall) @ 2MB connection.

I have researched the problem and found this;
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_...4487-YUOC-6922

Now that indicates its my box, granted its out-dated but I know of a few people that have/have had the same box without this....do I need to upgrade it somehow?

I know "192.168.100.1" accesses the settings on my box to see if anything is wrong there, but I dont know the username/password which hasnt been changed so should be default hopefully if anyone knows them.

Thanks for your help

No link to update it anyway so...
