Steam client 'cannot connect' the first time I start it, almost every time

[mikeymikec]

Is this behaviour 'normal' for the steam client? It's quite irritating, especially when I'm starting a game that doesn't need an Internet connection.

I don't know if it's "normal", but that used to happen to me on a regular basis.

Not a big Steam fan.

pretty much 50% chance for me too. WTF. Why they don't retry some more?

For steam, this is normal.

Glad I am not the only one. This happens more often on wireless than wired though.

Oh good, it's not just me...

I don't have Steam installed but both of my sons do on their computers and this happens a lot too. They're both on wireless connections if that matters.

Same thing happens here with a stable wired connection.
